Acknowledgements

CIDAR Lab
	Professor Douglas Densmore Primary Investigator, CIDAR Lab at Boston University We would like to thank Professor Densmore for his lab space and his support throughout the summer.

Dr. Ernst Oberortner Postdoctoral Researcher, CIDAR Lab at Boston University We would also like to thank Dr. Ernst Oberortner for his help with Eugene and the priority encoder design.

Academic Collaborations

Orit Shaer Primary Investigator, HCI Lab at Wellesley College We would like to thank Professor Orit Shaer for teaching us more about Bio-design Automation and for allowing us to collaborate with her lab to learn more about integrating computational tools with experimental lab work. We would also like to thank the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) lab at Wellesley for allowing us to use the Google Glass in our lab.

Ariela Esmurria We would like to thank high school student Ariela Esmurria for helping us with the Interlab study.

Corporate Collaborations
	Jacob Beal BBN Technologies We would like to thank Dr. Jacob Beal from BBN Technologies for teaching us how to use the BBN Synthetic Biology Tools and helping us troubleshoot.

Contributions

The wetlab work was completed by Yash Agarwal (fusion proteins), Alan Pacheco (new vector backbones), and Katie Lewis (tandem promoters). Our advisor, Traci Haddock, and our mentor, Evan Appleton, trained us in the lab and provided us troubleshooting advice throughout the project. All team members and advisors contributed to the wiki. Alan designed the wiki framework. Ariela Esmurria, a high school student volunteer, did the wetlab work for the Interlab Study. We would also like to thank Diego Cuerda for helping us with the oris.

Sponsors

We'd like to thank all of our sponsors for their generous support. Without the support from the following Boston University departments and corporate sponsors, we would not have been able to compete in iGEM. Thank you very much!
