Our experiments in the lab started the first week of June and have lasted till October. This notebook contains the account of all our highs and lows, the frustrations and the wins for the other iGEM teams and judges to go through.
Due to an incredibly late start, we have fallen short of achieving everything we envisioned but nonetheless we are proud of what we have managed to do. We hope the reader finds the lab notebook insightful.
