		<description><![CDATA[How synthetic biology gets done in iGEM competition:

Jam08 Live: Rice &#8211; BioBeer from mac cowell on Vimeo. [1]
Before getting too excited though, keep in mind:

The experiment hasn&#8217;t been verified to work.  The yeast &#8220;seems to be consuming some intermediate products&#8221; however the drug production hasn&#8217;t been verified.
The benefits of resveritrol may be dramatically overstated. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In general terms, synthetic biology brings to mind using &#8220;BioBricks&#8221;, which are engineered genetic parts used to modify an organism, such as bacteria or yeast.  The idea is to modify the organism to work to our advantage; for example, to eat sugar and produce biofuel &#8212; a pretty good tradeoff, considering the cost of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Biology is faced with the problem:  the field in general does not understand much of what it studies.  One method of solving this is to study the smallest organisms known, in an effort to &#8220;understand 100% of something small.&#8221;  This is a typical engineering approach, to understand the smallest system first, then work up to [...]]]></description>
