RBS Characterization
For our RBS characterization project, five different RBS sequences from the [http://partsregistry.org/Ribosome_Binding_Sites/Prokaryotic/Constitutive/Anderson Anderson RBS family] (J61100, J61101, J61107, J61117, J61127) and the standard RBS [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_B0032 B0032] were placed in front of the standard [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_E0040 GFP coding sequence]. The Biobricks generated in order to perform the experiments were: [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K398500 K398500], [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K398501 K398501], [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K398502 K398502], [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K398503 K398503], [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K398504 K398504]. The general map of the construction is shown below, where the RBS is displayed in fucsia.

The result of this experimental set up was a simple characterization of five of the Anderson RBS sequences in relation to other standard well-characterized RBS. The given relative strengths are displayed assuming [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_B0034 B0034] as the unit.
We've also trying to look at mRNA folded shapes using mfold to see if there was a common pattern in the Anderson RBS shapes. This might have been usable in predicting RBS strength for the other untested Anderson RBS sequences. Unfortunately, this didn't seem to be the case, as all the tried RBS sequences had very different mfold shapes.
