Attribution

The GDSYZX-United iGEM team was responsible for almost all aspects of the project except the setting up of the wiki. We did a lot of work from coming up with the project, doing the experiment, doing the human practice activities, poster design and so on. Help received from advisors and others was greatly appreciated and acknowledged below.
