You are working in bacteria and never heard of U2-OS, SREBP or CYP1A1? Don't worry! Browse our Eukaryopedia and enter the world of mammalian BioBricks. Our team worked on a computational approach for the rational design of promoter libraries. Similar to existing methods which predict spatial preferences of transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) by detecting statistically overrepresented motives we used Promotersweep to analyze and process the information of over 4000 human promoter sequences. Thirteen students and nine advisors are working on this four month project. We split up into several subgroups whose focus and results you can follow on the Notebook and Project pages. If you want to know more about the subgroups and the people involved, meet us on our Team page and let's get to know each other better at the Jamboree in Boston.
