Vision and conceptAlthough classical molecular biology and genetic engineering equipped the science community with many functional proteins and possible applications, usage and linking different parts together to a working network still requires highly complicated strategies. Often the assembly of different biological parts tends to be error-prone and very difficult to extend since only few switches are established and studied in a way that they deliver reliable basic units. Even those like the ultimate protein expression control unit, the lac operon, are limited: With the lac operon only 0 and 1 can be achieved and only once per expression construct and cell. Our approach is to change that and to enable new and more exact ways to control E. coli cells using RNA-RNA-interaction based switches.
This is a template page. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
You are provided with this team page template with which to start the iGEM season. You may choose to personalize it to fit your team but keep the same "look." Or you may choose to take your team wiki to a different level and design your own wiki. You can find some examples HERE.
You MUST have a team description page, a project abstract, a complete project description, a lab notebook, and a safety page. PLEASE keep all of your pages within your teams namespace.
