Math Book

Our Math Book is meant to be the mathematical modelling equivelent of a lab book, where we store everything another team might need to recreate our models. You can access code related to the models can be accessed from this github page.

We modelled three main aspects of the Staphylocide system: CRISPR Interference, silencing RNA and Conjugation.

We hope you enjoy learning more about our model on the subpages!
