PLASMID
Plasmid Locking Assembly
for Sustaining Multiple Insert DNA
This is the
second time that IIT Madras has sent a team to
iGEM. Our team in iGEM 08, the only team to represent India in the
competition that year, won the “Best Foundational advance” award, the
"Best New Biobrick" award and a Silver, for their work on hybrid
promoters which have now been added under the category of promoters
(IIT Madras Stresskit promoters). This year, the team is composed of 9
Undergraduates, all from the Department of Biotechnology. We hope to go
one step better this year with our design of a combinatorial lock
system, and thereby set the standard for future competitions.
