Styling your wiki

You may style this page as you like or you can simply leave the style as it is. You can easily keep the styling and edit the content of these default wiki pages with your project information and completely fulfill the requirement to document your project.

While you may not win Best Wiki with this styling, your team is still eligible for all other awards. This default wiki meets the requirements, it improves navigability and ease of use for visitors, and you should not feel it is necessary to style beyond what has been provided.

Wiki template information

We have created these wiki template pages to help you get started and to help you think about how your team will be evaluated. You can find a list of all the pages tied to awards here at the Pages for awards link. You must edit these pages to be evaluated for medals and awards, but ultimately the design, layout, style and all other elements of your team wiki is up to you!

Editing your wiki

On this page you can document your project, introduce your team members, document your progress and share your iGEM experience with the rest of the world!

Tips

This wiki will be your team’s first interaction with the rest of the world, so here are a few tips to help you get started:

State your accomplishments! Tell people what you have achieved from the start.
Be clear about what you are doing and how you plan to do this.
You have a global audience! Consider the different backgrounds that your users come from.
Make sure information is easy to find; nothing should be more than 3 clicks away.
Avoid using very small fonts and low contrast colors; information should be easy to read.
Start documenting your project as early as possible; don’t leave anything to the last minute before the Wiki Freeze. For a complete list of deadlines visit the iGEM 2016 calendar
Have lots of fun!

Inspiration

You can also view other team wikis for inspiration! Here are some examples:

Uploading pictures and files

You can upload your pictures and files to the iGEM 2016 server. Remember to keep all your pictures and files within your team's namespace or at least include your team's name in the file name.
When you upload, set the "Destination Filename" to Team:YourOfficialTeamName/NameOfFile.jpg. (If you don't do this, someone else might upload a different file with the same "Destination Filename", and your file would be erased!)

+<p> Arboviruses are spreading at an alarming rate on a global scale. Zika, dengue and chikungunya viruses affect more than 500 million people per year. The WHO has assembled the Emergency Committee on February 1st 2016 in the fear of the Zika outbreak all over the world. </p>
+<p> To this day, the only known method to fight is to spray insecticides in large quantities on risk areas. Yet, this strategy has proven to be inefficient, mosquitoes develop resistance against the substances and these are very harmful to the environment. That is why it is crucial to develop a precise mapping strategy of the contaminated territories.</p>
+<p>Our team designed a novel system that is quick and easy to use. This device traps mosquitoes, and detects the presence of viruses thanks to a biosilica-based patch onto which we apply the mosquito lysate produced by the trap. The analysis results are then passed on to local authorities and centralized into a database, allowing a detailed real-time mapping of the location of infected mosquito populations. Therefore, our system will act as a sentinel to allow prevention and environmental surveillance.
+</p>
+<p>Our project includes three parts: the mosquito trap, the novel biosilica immunodetection patch and the data analysis and mapping software.
+</p>
+<p> The bio-nanomaterial of our patch is based on cellulose and biosilica. This material is biodegradable. The immunodetection component of the patch is customizable to detect different antigens.
+</p>
+<p> We present a new, easy-to-use, eco-friendly antigen detection system, that will target contaminated regions and diminish the use of harmful insecticides
