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.

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 believe the development of this unprecedented BioBrick will help synthetic biologists in a variety of applications, for a variety of purposes such as the following:

  1. example application
  2. example application
  3. example application

Our proposed BioBrick is novel, and potentially very useful in practice.

Secondary Objective: Humanistic Practice

Further Considerations

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