🧬 Attention iGEM teams!

Are you starting a new project and thinking about biosafety systems? This is a great resource to explore different containment strategies:

📘 Auxotrophy to Xeno-DNA: an exploration of combinatorial mechanisms for a high-fidelity biosafety system for synthetic biology applications

➡️ https://doi.org/10.1186/s13036-018-0105-8

From engineered auxotrophy to xeno-DNA containment, it is full of ideas that could help shape your design and safety planning.

En l'ull de la tempesta des de l'inici del #brot de #PPA, IRTA-CReSA és una isntal·lació d'alta biocontenció (#NBS3 o #BSL3) que porta treballant 20 anys en el campus de la UAB. Però sabem com de complexa i costosa és una instal·lació d'aquestes característiques? Aquí una entrada que compara #BSL3 i #BSL4, amb infografies bastant acceptables i realistes.
I com sempre, en cas de dubte, preguntin.
