Virginia Genetically Engineered Machine (VGEM) Team Lab Wiki

Welcome to the new VGEM Team wiki! The VGEM Team was founded by George McArthur IV so that the University of Virginia's could send an undergraduate bioengineering team to compete in MIT's international Genetically Engineered Machines competition [(iGEM)]. We'll be adding new information in the near future.
