Homework

Weekly homework submissions:

• Week 1 HW: Principles and Practices

  1. First, describe a biological engineering application or tool you want to develop and why. I want to work with Geobacter bacteria to create a living soil contaminate sensor: where electric signals modulate based on the prescence of heavy metals in the ground. Geobacters are already well studied bacterias that produce electric signals under ground. This makes them a useful organism to modify and use as a biosensor.

• Week 2 HW: DNA Read, Write, & Edit

  Part 1: Benchling & In-silico Gel Art I made a free account on benchling and then imported the Lambda DNA (see below).

• Week 3 HW: Lab Automation
