Reflections/responses to the papers we've read together

Please share with the team what was meaningful about the reading, how it might be applied to the team's research and what questions you may have.

  • [http://www.etcgroup.org/upload/publication/pdf_file/602 Extreme genetic engineering: an introduction to synthetic biology] by the ETC Group
    • There seems to be so many different areas of research that are considered synthetic biology. Which areas apply to iGEM and which area(s) will the VCU team be involved in? GMcArthurIV 16:44, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
    • The New Synthetic Energy Agenda section on page 27 reflected the type of work the VCU team will be doing. The cellulose to biofuel and bio remediation to biofuel projects would fall well under this area of syn bio. Obviously our projects will pertain to biofuel production but the section regarding synbiosafety cannot be ignored--Bussingkm 21:34, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
