Call for Entries: 2013 Gen9 G-Prize Contest

Call for Entries: 2013 Gen9 G-Prize Contest One million base pairs! Winners of the 2013 G-Prize will receive a free library of DNA constructs equaling one million base pairs! Each construct is a double-stranded gene fragment from 500 to 3000 base-pairs in length. One grand prize winner will be chosen by the judges to win the whole one million base pairs. As the Next Gen Gene Synthesis Company, Gen9 has developed an exceptional technology to synthesize DNA constructs using our award winning BioFab technology. Today, Gen9 is manufacturing and shipping our GeneBits (500bp to 1000bp) and the longer GeneBytes (1kbp to 3kbp) to customers around the globe. The G-Prize contest, conceived and exclusively sponsored by Gen9, was launched to foster creative and innovative approaches for using synthetic DNA libraries to constructively advance industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, biofuels and agriculture.  In 2012, the G-Prize judges identified five separate winners of the G-Prize, and Gen9 awarded those winners 1 million base pairs of dsDNA.  This year, in order to further spark innovation in synthetic biology, Gen9 will award the whole 1 million base pairs to one research group! The G-Prize contest is open to academic and non-profit scientists only. Deadline for entries is November 1, 2013. We accept entries from any organization or researcher who has a compelling and constructive use of synthetic biology. All gene sequences submitted will ...
