iGEM 2019: Team Groningen develops a biological QR-code
The 2019 iGEM team of Groningen has developed a biological QR-code. The aim of the team is to improve the safety of digitally sharing information. To tackle this world-wide problem, the team developed a protocol to share delicate information via a biological QR-code. With this new idea, the team participates in the annual iGEM competition at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston.
To explain the idea of their project, a short video, including an animation, has been produced. Please watch the video and get to know everything about the bio QR!
