Hi all,

We’ve been a little late catching up on the Social Media side of Harvard iGEM, but here we are! This year we’ve got a great team and our TFs hail from the Church Lab. We’re taking advantage of some great technology from the Church Lab to investigate genetic diversity in a short time frame. More info to come as the proper iGEM wiki page ends its construction phase. Team and TFs intros to come!
