  23. Number of flips vs.Time? Number of flips Time Next Steps Better control of kinetics Slow down Hin activity Determine x flips second-1 Size bias?

  24. Modeling Plasmid Copy Number P(cell survives) = n = plasmid copy number p = probability of a pancake stack being sorted x = number of sorted stacks sufficient for cell survival

  25. Next Steps Improved insulating vector Accepts B0015 double terminator Bigger pancake stacks

  26. Summary: What We Learned Multiple campuses increase capacity with parallel processing Collective Troubleshooting Primarily Undergraduate Institutions can iGEM collaboratively

  27. Summary: What We Learned Math and Biology mesh really well Math modelingWe proved a new theorem! Challenges of biological components

  28. But above all… We had a flippin’ good time!!!
