We have an X-prize type of challenge for you.

We are wondering if there are a set of type IIs restriction enzymes (also see RE Base) within which you could embed other type IIs restriction site(s) to do something useful or interesting. Perhaps you could improve upon Golden Gate assembly, or other methods in the paper reviewed by Becca Tom Ellis Tom Adieac and Geoff S. Baldwin. Or perhaps you can think of a way to represent a mathematical problem with combinations of sites.

You can work solo or in teams of your design. However, everyone must participate in this challenge.
