The Finding Engineering-Linked Indicators (FELIX) team, including #BioBSE's Sue Celniker and #BioEGSB's Ben Brown, has led the efforts to test tools that can quickly determine whether an organism has been modified. The team designed and produced increasingly challenging biological samples and assessed how well the tools made by participating academic and industry groups performed.

#Microbes are (still) cool.

Lauren Lui, one of our project scientists, is using bioinformatics to study genes of microbes so we can learn how they shape the environment and perhaps use them for agriculture, medicine, and more.
