Identification for Engineering GAL1 Promoter without Downstream ATG Start Codon

0. This is based on BBa_J63006 and is without ATG start codon. We point-mutate the ATG to ACG. It is more convenient to use. There is ATG in GAL1 promoter RBS which can change read frame.

As learn from the diagram, we have successfully constructed the GAL 1 promoter without ATG.

Identification for Engineering Lambda Holin into BBa Format

0. Due to that BBa_K112306 (lambda holin) is in BBb format and is inconvenient to use. We change it to BBa format. This is used to form pores on the outer membrane of mitochondria and ER to release apoptosis factor to repress yeast cells.
