Themed in synthetic biology, supplemented with multiple inter-disciplines, International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM)Competition provides with a most influential and dynamic platform for young minds in the field of biology. Many college and high school teams not only achieved excellent results in this competition, but got academic breakthrough achievements as well in recent years. Hence, we launch this iGEM special editorial column, featured in latest domestic iGEM research projects. Simultaneously, we discuss, in this special issue, about the progress of iGEM in China, and its inspiration on development of research skills and scientific competence of collegiate students.
国际遗传工程机器大赛（iGEM）以合成生物学为主题，辅以多学科内容，为生物学领域的年轻人提供了一个最具影响力和活力的平台。近年来，许多高校和高中团队不仅在这项竞赛中取得了优异成绩，还取得了学术突破成果。因此，我们推出这个iGEM特别编辑专栏，以国内最新的iGEM研究项目为特色。同时，在本期特刊中，我们探讨了iGEM在中国的进展及其对大学生研究技能和科学能力发展的启示。
