Our appreciation goes to Anders Virtanen, Anthony Forster, Michael Nissbäck, Sethu Madhava Rao Gunja, Margareta Krabbe and Gunnar Johansson for their valuable feedback and their guidance during this project.

We would also like to thank lab assistants Sangeeta Boopalan and Delyan Georgiev. that helped us during the summer to get started in the lab.

A special thank you to Emil Marklund for all the guidance, the tremendous amount of help and dedication for making us successful in the project: “a once in a lifetime opportunity!”. Lastly, we are also very grateful to Elf lab for providing lab space and equipment during autumn.

Our team would also like to express a special appreciation and thanks to Erik Wistrand-Yuen who provided us with the lambda red starting strains, the protocols and who spent hours guiding and instructing us and providing practical help. Without him this success would not have been possible.

During our iGEM run we got a lot of support from old iGEMers. We would like to thank everyone who have attended our lectures and given us guidance and opinions while picking our project. We would also like to thank the iGEM Uppsala Association board for organizing events and supporting us at the beginning of the project. Namely we would like to thank the previous iGEM Uppsala members Olle Karlberg, Fredrik Lindeberg, Alice Anlind, Sabri Jamal and Hampus Elofsson, we thank you for your guidance.
