Project Description:Our project for iGEM 2010 involves building a biological rate detection sensor and demonstrating its usefulness in building a bio-clock and color display unit. The rate detection mechanism makes use of a pair of of promoters with different efficiencies to detect the quantitative value of the input signal.
