The BioBrick workshop was hosted over a weekend at DTU where the teams received lectures about; Primer design for USER-cloning, the online tool PHUSER that can be used for designing primers, the core of iGEM, how to receive medals and Wiki design and editing in iGEM. The teams were also introduced to several need to know laboratory procedures; PCR, Gel electrophoresis, Purification of DNA from agarose gels and USER-cloning.<br> | The BioBrick workshop was hosted over a weekend at DTU where the teams received lectures about; Primer design for USER-cloning, the online tool PHUSER that can be used for designing primers, the core of iGEM, how to receive medals and Wiki design and editing in iGEM.

iGEM is not only about developing fascinating solutions to global problems using synthetic biology. It is about sharing knowledge and experience with your fellows. It is about achieving great results together with like-minded people as well as sharing your achievements with other to help them achieve even greater results. Life's most urgent question is: What are you doing for others? - Martin Luther King, Jr. It is our experience at the 2014 DTU iGEM team that a good start is essential for every research project. Since our team consists of trained wetlab biotech students we chose to arrange and carry our a workshop for all other Danish iGEM teams to help them get their iGEM project started. We decided to repeat the success of the BioBrick Workshop 2013 hosted by the previous year's DTU iGEM team. The BioBrick Workshop is a gathering of the iGEM teams of Denmark (KU, SDU and DTU) for a social learning experience about the core of iGEM and genetical engineering. |
