Introduction: Motivation

  • We seek to develop a BioBrick that will allow researchers in the field of synthetic biology to accurately measure translational efficiency, and transcriptional strength.
  • We believe that we can use Spinach as a biosensor to reflect these metrics in vivo, rather than in vitro, which has previously proven to be very costly and impractical.
  • We will characterize the relationship between genetic expression of Spinach (upstream), translational efficiency, and transcriptional strength.

Motivation question?

Humanistic implications go here

Primary Objective: A Useful BioBrick for Synthetic Biologists

A false-colour SEM of MicroMaize cells.
A false-colour SEM of MicroMaize cells.

We have been xxxxxyyyy for the purpose of xxxyyy which is detailed by the following:

  1. something great
  2. something greater
  3. something awesome

This will be xxxyyy

Secondary Objective: Secondary Objective

We have also been continuing the work of our 2012 team in engineering Escherichia coli to be awesome. Here is a link to awesomeness (WHO).

Further Considerations

In the pursuit of our project, as well as the biological aspects, we:
