Fall 2013: Our team visited a local farm to determine needs in our community. From the visit, we began formulating the idea of a fruit preservative.

November and December 2013. We began to work on sterile techniques and safety training. Also began research into Chitin to Chitosan Pathway as well as applications of chitosan.

January 2014 - Began research into source organisms for the Chitin Deacytelase gene.

February- iGEM kit arrived.

March- Began extracting genomic yeast DNA. Used a protocol from___________using lithium acetate etc. Results were inconsistent and yields were low.
