Abstract

The International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition (iGEM) is a global science fair in synthetic biology (SynBio). The relatively new discipline of SynBio is distinguished from 'genetic engineering' in its more systematic approach, and its focus on understanding life via creation, rather than dissection¹. Microbiology is central to SynBio, which usually relies on Escherichia coli or yeast as model systems.
