The Heidelberg iGEM Team would like to thank everyone for their contributions, small or large. A number of groups and individuals aided us over the course of our project and we would like to express our thanks.

A special thank you to our instructors and advisors for asking the right questions and advising in problem solving. We wouldn't have gotten this far without them.

All PCRs, primer designs, cloning reactions, gels, minipreps, nanodropping, competent cell making, etc were performed by members of Heidelberg iGEM Team 2014. Dr. Agustin Rodriguez taught us how to do Western Blots. All sample preparation for sequencing and blotting were done by all members of Heidelberg iGEM Team 2014. Great thanks to Michael Blessenohl taking pictures and documenting our work with his camera. Many biotechnology companies sponsored us by sending us lab utilities. A list of our sponsors can be found at the bottom of our wiki. Sequencing reactions were dispatched to GATC. Primers and oligos were ordered from Sigma Aldrich.

Especially we want to thank Prof. Dr. Henning D. Mootz for sharing his expertise on inteins with us and sending several of his intein constructs.

Moreover, we would like to thank Dr. Pavel Bashtrykov for his great support in answering our questions about DNMT1 and sending the essential construct for our work.

In the following we mentioned all individuals and working groups, which supported us with great hints and feedback.
