Notes
Here's all our lab work: week by week you can find all the procedures, links to the registry of standard parts and protocols. The chronological structure of this section, organized as a notebook, mirrors the real development of our project and respects the pure iGEM style.

2. PLAC-CI X/P
Consistent Part Length
3. R0083 S/P
Single Vector Band as Expexted. Is Hard to verify the Part length correctness given the small size
4. R0082 S/P
Single Vector Band as Expexted. Is Hard to verify the Part length correctness given the small size
5. C0051 X/P
Consistent Part Length.
