User:KCliff/Evaluating Cross Contamination Using The Pin Tool
In preparation for the 2008 iGEM competition, selected DNA 'bioparts' found in the Registry are put onto sheets of thesis paper using the pin tool in order to be mailed to teams at participating colleges and universities. Since this is the first year that iGEM will be using the thesis paper to distribute the 'bioparts' in place of actual plates, the pin tool method was evaluated for possible DNA and culture cross contamination.
