Status Reports

The status reports of each group below will continuously be updated as we work on the biobricks. The following PDFs contain progressive versions of our status reports as we continue through the sex detector project; they are added weekly. To learn more about each biobrick, please refer to the Biobrick page.

Status Report 2.1 - 07/12/08
