How reliable is your kill switch?

No containment systems created in iGEM are robust: they lack the above quantification and are mostly one mutation away from failure.
-Sara Aguiton and Claire Mayer, iGEM

What is a "kill switch" ?

Human Practices

iGEM could produce support resources, for the existing[Biology] A level, which introduce ideas of synthetic biology and which could be used as ‘stretch and challenge’ materials by teachers.

How reliable is your kill switch?

No containment systems created in iGEM are robust: they lack the above quantification and are mostly one mutation away from failure. -Sara Aguiton and Claire Mayer, iGEM

What is a "kill switch" ?

Human Practices

iGEM could produce support resources, for the existing[Biology] A level, which introduce ideas of synthetic biology and which could be used as ‘stretch and challenge’ materials by teachers. -Edexcel
