**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**

Rockville MD - November 28, 2016 - In the opening ceremony of the annual[iGEM](http://igem.org/Main_Page) (International Genetically Engineered Machine) Scientific Jamboree,[PLOS](http://www.plos.org/) (Public Library of Science) announced their partnership with Breezio and Ars Biotechnica to continue to drive innovation into the scholarly publishing process with a new live peer review model. Since launching its first journal in 2003, PLOS has been a force for transformation in scholarly publishing, breaking with archaic traditions from previous generations. PLOS innovations accelerate science and medicine, from research discovery to influence tracking. Now they hope to do it again and further advance the speed of science by exploring the use of live community-based peer review for submissions from iGEM students.
