Welcome to the FreiGEM 2012 wiki,

in this wiki we want to present our project for the iGEM 2012 contest and introduce the freigem 2012 team.

The iGEM Team Freiburg 2012 (FreiGEM) is dedicated to standardizing the synthesis of Transactivator-like (TAL) proteins, i.e. DNA-binding proteins. In contrast to zinc-finger proteins they consist of domain-like repeats in their primary structure that differ only by two amino acids. These two amino acids of a given repeat determine which DNA base the repeat will bind to. By providing efficient mechanisms to combine the different repeats in order to target a certain DNA sequence of around 14bp the FreiGEM team is working towards establishing a standardized kit. This one tube essay will provide the user with an easy, quick and cost-efficient way to design his or her individualized TAL protein in just a glance.



Stay tuned to FreiGEM 2012 - we will keep you in the loop.
