The application was designed by Tiffany Chen, Casey Grote, Catherine Guo, Evan Segreto, and Sravanti Tekumalla with input from Consuelo Valdes, Diana Eastman, and our advisor, Orit Shaer. Members of the BU iGem team and their advisor, Traci Haddock, provided input and advice during the design process. Ernst Oberortner provided an introduction to Eugene and advice.

zMol was started by a group of Olin students and continued this summer by Cassie Hoef and Daniel Worstell. They contributed by working together to create a unique representation of the periodic table of elements, added a search function, allowed the double bonding and ringing of atoms, and imported data for each element of the table. They were assisted by their intern, Yoav Segev, and advised by Consuelo Valdes and Orit Shaer.
zTree was designed by Cassie Hoef and Daniel Worstell and was inspired by a photo representation of tree structured data from the Palo Alto Research Center. They were advised by Orit Shaer and Consuelo Valdes. Daniel imported the data sheets from the Registry of Standard Biological Parts and Cassie designed much of the front end functionality, as well as the file IO. They were assisted by Yoav Segev, their intern.

Bac to the Future was primarily inspired by an experiment conducted by the Church Lab at Harvard Medical School, which used bacteria DNA to store encoded book citations. In addition, we drew inspiration from our participatory design session with the BU iGEM team and Robert Kincaid, and our lab experience with Professor Natalie Kuldell from MIT. The application was designed by Joanna Bi and Heather Petrow with input from Consuelo Valdes and our advisor Orit Shaer, and was implemented by Joanna Bi and Heather Petrow, with the help of Diana Eastman. Additionally, we were aided by our interns Neoreet Braha and Artemis Metaxa.

The iGEM Team Wiki was designed by Casey Grote and implemented by the team.
