<b>We have designed a novel standardized assembly system, called “Plug 'n' Play with DNA” where ready to use biological parts can be gathered without the use of restriction enzymes and ligase. This will make cloning faster and assembly of expression vectors possible within a few hours. We have created a library of standardized biological parts for mammalian cells and <i>Aspergilli </i> ready to plug 'n' play. You can find more information about how this standard works <a href="https://2011.igem.org/Team:DTU-Denmark-2/Project/PlugnplayAssembly">here</a>.<b>

As proof of concept we have created a reporter system that can be used for anything from monitoring gene expression to determination of protein localization. We expressed and localized fluorescent proteins in the model organism <a href="https://2011.igem.org/Team:DTU-Denmark-2/results/Proofofconcept/fungi" ><i>Aspergillus nidulans</i></a> and the <a href="https://2011.igem.org/Team:DTU-Denmark-2/results/Proofofconcept/mammalian"> mammalian cell line U-2 OS </a> with great success.</p>

Standardization entails rigidity. Therefore we have written a <a href="https://2011.igem.org/Team:DTU-Denmark-2/Project/PlugnplayAssembly/customization" >guide</a> that allows the researcher to customize the system, so proteins can be assembled seamless, multiple mutations can be introduced in one round of cloning etc. The only limitation to this is your creativity.</p>

<p>" The use of restriction digestion and ligation although developed over 20 years ago, remains to be the standard cloning technique. The use of restriction enzymes can be both a time consuming and cumbersome process. To optimize the cloning process to become faster and more efficient, it is desirable to avoid the use of restriction enzymes.

  Back in 2003 the USER friendly cloning was developed by New England Biolabs to ensure cloning without the use of restriction enzymes. Further development of the method in recent years has meant that construction of the vectors used for USER cloning can now be made quickly and efficiently without the use of restriction enzymes.

We are developing a standardized system, where certain categories of biological parts can be gathered. The idea is that the parts are in microtiter plates where they can be directly mixed with other desired parts and an expression vector and then can be assembled within a few hours. Hereby purification of digested vectors and PCR-products and ligation are avoided. To show how easy it is, we will demonstrate the use of this system by developing a reporter targeting system for the fungus Aspergillus niger and furthermore demonstrate its application in mammalian cells." - <a

Making Molecular Biology Easier


We have designed a novel standardized assembly system, called “Plug 'n' Play with DNA” where ready to use biological parts can be gathered without the use of restriction enzymes and ligase. This will make cloning faster and assembly of expression vectors possible within a few hours. We have created a library of standardized biological parts for mammalian cells and Aspergilli ready to plug 'n' play. You can find more information about how this standard works here.


A Reporter System

As proof of concept we have created a reporter system that can be used for anything from monitoring gene expression to determination of protein localization. We expressed and localized fluorescent proteins in the model organism Aspergillus nidulans and the mammalian cell line U-2 OS with great success.
Flexibility

Standardization entails rigidity. Therefore we have written a guide that allows the researcher to customize the system, so proteins can be assembled seamless, multiple mutations can be introduced in one round of cloning etc. The only limitation to this is your creativity.
Applications

Here you can learn more about the numerous applications of the Plug’n’Play with DNA assembly standard and the research areas, where this system is especially advantageous.


Data Page

You can find an overview of our project on our Data Page. Here you also find our favorite submitted biobricks, and the biobricks we characterized during the summer.
Achievements

Designing a novel assembly standard and creating a reporter system for Aspergillus nidulans and mammalian cells are our main achievements. You can read more about our accomplishments on this page.
The Team

We are five girls that have been working on this project for three months with support from our three supervisors. You can learn more about us, and how we started an iGEM team on our Team Page.
