We conceived a model of plasmid loss for the Toulouse team.
In order to help the iGEM team Bordeaux, we had to read the paper « Dynamics of plasmid transfer on surfaces » [1] and collect and organize some data about their experiments on plasmids transfer. Thanks to this, the iGEM team Bordeaux can compare those results to their own computaionnal results.
Here is a summary of this article.
The iGEM team Pretoria 2016 hepled us focusing on the socio-economic and political issues facing the current platinum sector, including the Marikana strikes.
