Penn State iGEM 2014 Notebook PageHere you will find weekly summaries of our wet laboratory progress, team updates, and accomplishments outside the laboratory. Below [link this] is our detailed, day-to-day progress laboratory notebook. Weekly Summarieswill create links to each week, but will just list down the page Week 1, Week 2, etc etc Laboratory Notebook
