Describe the target product or output you would like to make.&#10;Why are you interested in making it? Your motivation might be utilitarian—for example, addressing a problem in health, sustainability, food, energy, or manufacturing—but it does not need to be. Your project might instead have a social, cultural, artistic, or personal motivation. Clearly articulate what you want to make, who or what it is for, and why you think it is interesting or important.</description></item><item><title>Week 2 HW: DNA Design</title><link>https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/ira-dhawan/week-02-hw-dna-design/index.html</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/ira-dhawan/week-02-hw-dna-design/index.html</guid><description>The name of my repository: Ira-Dhawan-hydrogel-project2026 The name of my folder: IraDhawanHydrogel&#10;What molecule are you expressing?&#10;I am expressing a protein that forms the hydrogel mesh, CsgA. This is the major curli amyloid subunit, which self-assembles outside the cell into a water-retaining hydrogel that can serve as the basis for a wound-care material. This directly impelents my week 1 idea.&#10;What is the sequence? Give the protein or RNA sequence, or the specific gene, you will encode, and say where it comes from (a database accession such as UniProt or NCBI, a known part, or de novo). Cite it.</description></item><item><title>Final Project</title><link>https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/ira-dhawan/final-project/index.html</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/ira-dhawan/final-project/index.html</guid><description/></item></channel></rss>
