Re: [DIYbio] Re: DIYbio projects

Academics are devilishly hard to contact. When I was plotting out my plasmid, many if the parts I wanted were used in a different context by the bacillafilla team, so I tried asking.. By email to several folks, twitter, etc. No replies.

I ended up re-synthesizing some parts, couldn't afford others, so had to settle for a simpler system. Thankfully it still worked, no thanks to the incommunicado iGEMmers.
