Overview

With the end of the summer on the horizon, now is the time to publish a short description of your team's project on the iGEM 2007 wiki (see the advanced schedule). These descriptions, along with your finished team website (also hosted on the iGEM 2007 wiki, due two weeks before the November Jamboree), establish the identity of iGEM online and provide inspiration to future iGEM teams, as well as broadcasting your accomplishments to the rest of the Synthetic Biology community and the world at large.

The description should be a paragraph or two in length and contain the level of detail you would expect to find in the abstract section of a peer-reviewed article, without necessarily the formality. While some teams have elected to host their team website on their own servers or on [http://openwetware.org/wiki/IGEM OpenWetWare], the project description must be published on the iGEM 2007 wiki, in addition to any other locations. Remember that you can update your description as your project develops, but plan on writing a complete version now, which will be used to create an iGEM 2007 world map and in other promotional material. Besides, after seeing all the descriptions you may realize that a team you thought of as your competitor could actually be your collaborator!

How to add your project description

This page needs to be moved to your team's pages. It is not a Project Description for all of iGEM. It should have a name like MYTEAM/Project Description
