Homework
Weekly homework submissions:
Week 1 HW: Principles and Practices
Here you will see a proposal in which I attempt to overstep my bounds in the field of microbiology with my identity as an artist and designer. If any of my statements are incorrect, incomplete, or biased, I would like to point out that this is due to my inexperience in the field, and I would gladly accept your support in correcting them. Q1. Describe a biological engineering application or tool you want to develop and why. This could be inspired by an idea for your HTGAA class project and/or something for which you are already doing in your research, or something you are just curious about.
Week 2 HW: DNA Read, Write, & Edit
Part 1: Benchling & In-silico Gel Art First, I checked how to find Lambda through the database.
