1. Introduction: The Project and Its Objectives

Overall Picture of the Project

Synthetic biology is a rapidly evolving field, and within it, iGEM serves as a gathering place for new ideas and research. Given its mission to solve various societal issues using synthetic biology, participation from individuals specializing in diverse fields is desirable. However, participating in this competition naturally requires extensive specialized knowledge in life sciences. In particular, the process of selecting Biobricks, the “components” of genes, can be very complex for beginners. To assist with this selection process, Dry-lab has developed a chatbot called “iGEM Copilot.”
