WELCOME TO THE RNA WORLD

Welcome to the biological world which we have spent an entire summer creating, working on and perfecting. We are introducing RNA to synthetic biology in a big way, by directly contributing a number of key parts to iGEM. We have taken a risk, we have been told our project is unrealistic and should be scrapped, that a group of undergraduates are crazy for even thinking about doing something so complicated. Even at times, we ourselves doubted - there has been good times and bad times. Spurred on by a desire to make a difference to synthetic biology and the world in which we live in, we pressed forward - a new team to iGEM, not seasoned veterans. We take chances and risks to make a difference - whether success comes our way or failure, we embrace the moment, cherishing it. We hope the synthetic biology community will appreciate our efforts, as the RNA's use and popularity surges. DNA best serves as a template for information storage. RNA is multi-functional, catalytic and dynamic. Welcome to our world - the RNA world!
