Revision as of 02:13, 31 January 2012

Every one needs to read two short summaries and then one or two really challenging papers. We are giving you two weeks to work on these papers as we start to get more specific and drill down into areas we need to master. After this week, we will begin to discuss what sorts of projects we can do. Also remember that we have the X-prize challenge of using type IIs restriction enzymes for some clever new application.
