Low Budget iGEM

Lab Constest

Overview

It is well known that doing science is expensive and lot of economical resources are needed, specially in Synthetic Biology because processes like PCR, DNA extraction, miniPrep, among others, need specialized equipment and chemical compounds that have considerably high prices so only a few people can afford them. In addition, all we mentioned besides affect the development in Latin American researches in Synthetic Biology and the formation of new iGEM teams in Latin America. Considering the last aspects, iGEM Team Colombia decided to organize a non-time consuming competition called Low Budget iGEM that aim to demonstrate all this protocols basis. What was the competition about? The teams that accepted this challenge had to design a new and cheaper way with daily things to make a normal protocol in the lab. At the beginning, we proposed that the participants could choose between PCR, DNA extraction and transformation but we decided that they could do any other protocol the want to. We received excellent and very interesting results, we invite you to check it out.
