     <p>Scientists are frequently confounded by wayward promoters; that is, promoters which do not produce

the expected proteins. Some bidirectional promoters are known to exist, but which way they promote

     <p>Utilizing synthetic biology cloning techniques, the Penn State iGEM team has designed three genetic constructs that test the most basic assumptions of molecular biology.

and the degree of expression has not been quantified. This project will test the directionality of

While each of the individual projects looks at a different aspect of the mantra, they all come together under the umbrella of Questioning the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology.</p>

several BioBrick promoters to answer these questions. </p>

<h3>Data Collection</h3>
+
 
-
    <p>Several BioBrick promoters have been tested in the bidirectional promoter construct. All successful ligations were cultured and the fluorescence of each individual promoter was tested in a TECAN machine.</P>
+
 
-
<p>The following promoters have been successfully tested for quantitative directionality using the TECAN. For a <a href="https://2012.igem.org/Team:Penn_State/Parts">complete list</a> of promoters we intend to test, please visit our <a href="https://2012.igem.org/Team:Penn_State/Parts">Parts</a> webpage.</p>

Projects

Team Projects

Utilizing synthetic biology cloning techniques, the Penn State iGEM team has designed three genetic constructs that test the most basic assumptions of molecular biology. While each of the individual projects looks at a different aspect of the mantra, they all come together under the umbrella of Questioning the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology.

Parts

Multiple Start Codons

mRNA strands should have only one recognized start codon. What happens when multiple start codons are introduced in translation?

Bidirectional Promoters

Promoters usually initiate translation in one direction. Which promoters promote both foward and reverse on the mRNA strand?

Codon Optimization

Each organism has a preferred sequence for each amino acid. What happens when the cell is overloaded by one amino acid codon?
