Gold Medal

In addition to the Bronze and Silver Medal requirements, two additional goals must be achieved:

1.Provide a convincing validation, testing the performance of the development -- experimentally (can be outsourced) or by other teams and users. Note, even if the algorithm or tool turns out not to work that well, the Gold requirement is fulfilled if the test is good and the analysis convincing. Validation may include: preferably experiments, informatics analysis (complexity, run time) of an algorithm, or user studies.

We have provided a convincing validation in the validation of our wiki.https://2014.igem.org/Team:UESTC-Software/Validation.html

And the second goal can be any one of the following:

1.Make your software interact / interface with the Registry.

2.Re-use and further develop previous iGEM software projects (or parts thereof) or use and/or improvement of existing synthetic biology tools or frameworks.

3.Develop a well documented library or API for other developers (rather than “only” a stand-alone app for end users.)

Please visit https://2014.igem.org/Team:UESTC-Software/API.html.

4.Support and use the SBOL and / or SBOLv standard.

5.iGEM projects involve important questions beyond the bench, for example relating to (but not limited to) ethics, sustainability, social justice, safety, security, or intellectual property rights. Describe an approach that your team used to address at least one of these questions. Evaluate your approach, including whether it allowed you to answer your question(s), how it influenced the team’s scientific project, and how it might be adapted for others to use (within and beyond iGEM). We encourage thoughtful and creative approaches, and those that draw on past Policy & Practice (formerly Human Practices) activities.
