iGEM: a model system for team science and innovation

This dataset is extracted from the international Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition, a model system for studying team science and innovation. It is described at length in this article. The dataset encompass detailed records from the iGEM competition, capturing various aspects of team participation and achievements. Specifically, the Team Information dataset (teams_table.csv) provides insights into team characteristics and achievements, including medal status and region of origin. User Information (users_table.csv) offers a look into individual participants, detailing their roles in the team. Awards Information (awards_table.csv) and Medal Criteria (medals_criteria.csv) lay out the awards teams have garnered and the standards for medal attainment. The BioBricks Information (biobricks_table.csv) corresponds to the BioBrick sequences associated with each team, while Wiki Edits (wikis_table.csv) tracks the changes made by users on their team's (wiki) lab notebook. Finally, the Collaboration Network (collaboration_network.csv) corresponds to the weighted directed inter-team collaboration network collected using team mentions across team wikis.
