2007 VGEM Team Projects

The following two projects represent a small fraction of the plethora of project ideas that we brainstormed during the spring semester and early summer. Many of our initial project ideas were either too expensive or depended on knowledge that does not exist yet. Therefore, only a small percentage of these were deemed plausible near the beginning of the summer, but most eventually met similar roadblocks. Of our final six project designs, we chose to focus on Butanol Biosynthesis for biofuel and on Bacterial Melanogenesis, a medically-oriented project. We will present both at the iGEM Jamboree in November. It is our wish that the 2008 VGEM Team will investigate the [http://www.openwetware.org/wiki/IGEM:VGEM/2007/Projects four other designed projects] in more detail and hopefully implement our theory into working biological systems.
