| - | We currently have 23/24 promoters and 3'UTRs from our Golden Gate Assembly-compatible library blunt-end ligated into the vector pTZ19u with SmaI. The promoters and 3'UTRs were PCR'd from yeast genomic DNA with primers containing designed BsaI overhangs. Following miniprep and digestion with BsaI, the promoters and 3'UTRs can be combined with our violacein ORFs. The last fragment, RPS2utr, has had the BsaI overhangs added, and will soon be ligated into the vector and transformed into ''E. coli''. | + | We currently have 23/24 promoters and 3'UTRs from our Golden Gate Assembly-compatible library blunt-end ligated into the vector pTZ19u with SmaI.

Finally, the loxPsym linker has been constructed from two single strand DNA oligos. This means that we are almost ready to do the random ligation to create the combinatorial library of violacein 'expression circles' and integrate them into yeast using Cre-Lox recombination. |

Yeast Toolkit Results
Fabricating the Promoter/Terminator Library
We biobricked 66% of the promoters and terminators that we set out to build. This will improve the ability of future igem teams that will use yeast to perform synthetic biology.
5 Violacein Expression Cassettes Ready for Vector Ligation and Yeast Transformation
Violacein loxPsym Integration
