Hurray, Dr. Endy, Monica, Jerome, and Pakpoom! :) I interned in this lab and it's really cool seeing their amazing work (especially using M13 for high-bandwidth communication) get the press it deserves

Let's also not forget Paul Jaschke! http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Paul_Jaschke/ He was able to design and produce a working refactored version of the PhiX174 bacteriophage.

Refactoring in bio has the typical CS connotation of cleaning up messy code -- The natural PhiX174 has some overlapping genes that cannot be edited in isolation -- The refactored version has no gene overlaps, so the genes can be editted individually in a more rational manner.
