Project Goal

The goal of our project is to prepare yeast strains that can easily be used to determine the mating type of other yeast haploids. Our constructs will employ a promoter active in the pheromone response pathway and a latch-type circuit to produce a fluorescent reporter protein when the pathway is activated. We hope our constructs will facilitate the progress of myriad researchers who use yeast as a model organism.

About the Team

This is Rose-Hulman's first year to enter the iGEM competition. The team consists of six students of varying years and majors and three faculty advisors.
