Experiential Engineering Through iGEM—An Undergraduate Summer Competition in Synthetic Biology
Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2010Unlike students in other engineering disciplines, undergraduates in biological engineering typically have limited opportunity to develop design competencies, and even fewer chances to implement their designed projects. The international Genetically Engineered Machines (iGEM) competition is a student Synthetic Biology competition that, in 2009, included

Resource competition and community structure.
Monographs in population biology, 1983One of the central questions of ecology is why there are so many different kinds of plants and animals. Here David Tilman presents a theory of how organisms compete for resources and the way their competition promotes diversity.

The competitive world of RAS biology
Nature Chemical Biology, 2014System-wide approaches are gaining popularity over traditional studies of individual molecular components. A new NMR approach unravels the interaction hierarchy of these different components by placing them in direct competition for the same target.

Biology of Sourgrass and Its Competition with Buffelgrass and Guineagrass
Weed Science, 1977Establishment and early growth characteristics were defined for sourgrass [Trichachne insularis(L.) Nees], one of the most serious pasture weeds in Hawaii. Optimum germination of sourgrass seeds was obtained in the light at 30 C or with alternating temperatures of 20 and 30 C or 25 and 35 C.

The iGEM competition: building with biology
IET Synthetic Biology, 2007Can simple biological systems be built from standard, interchangeable parts and operated in living cells? Or is biology simply too complicated to be engineered in this way? The international Genetically Engineered Machine Competition (iGEM) is an open design challenge for student teams that addresses this difficult question.

Population biology of multispecies helminth infection: Competition and coexistence
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2007The role that interspecific interactions play in shaping parasite communities is uncertain. To date, models of competition between helminth species have assumed that interaction occurs through parasite-induced host death. To our knowledge, there has been no theoretical exploration of other forms of competition.

Race to the Bottom: Competition and Quality in Science
Quarterly Journal of EconomicsThis paper investigates how competition to publish first and thereby establish priority impacts the quality of scientific research. We begin by developing a model where scientists decide whether and how long to work on a given project.

Cell Competition: Mechanisms and Physiological Roles.
Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology, 2016Cell-competitive interactions are widespread in nature and determine the outcome of a vast variety of biological processes. A particular class of competitive interactions takes place when alterations in intrinsic cellular properties are sensed ...
