Cyantific has prioritized considering possible hard and soft consequences of this emerging technology. The traits and quality of food are central to our livelihood, and our modern society has embraced color enhanced food products. Our goal is to understand how our dye interacts with the meta-market considerations of stakeholders such as investors, food companies, and big agriculture scientists while also seeking to understand how a food conscious public evaluates genetically modified products and attributes value to labels such as “natural.” What is at stake within our project is how the existence of binary categories such as natural and artificial or genetically modified and organic have come to inhabit effectively semantic boundaries. Though these categories are critical for all biological engineered products, they take a specific role within this project—defining the parameters of our enterprise from its’ inception and creating the social and economic utility of our work.

Cyantific: UC Davis iGEM 2016

iGEMMatch.org

We developed a website, iGEMmatch.org, which promotes collaborations between iGEM teams and makes contacting teams effortless. The website allowed users to sign-up, select which track their project fits in, give a short description and designate sortable keywords about their project. It not only allowed users to see what teams may have a compatible project, it provides the contact information so that teams no longer have to sort through university directories or relying on teams Wikis like other tools available. iGEMmatch had over 50 teams registered, 6 of which have official collaborations at the Jamboree, and promoted international collaborations that may have otherwise been unfeasible.
