What we're doing
Deinococcus Genome/ Transcriptome Sequencing
How can previously unresearched species inform us about radiation resistance? We are using whole genome and RNA-seq to analyze a genus' response to ionizing radiation.Registry/ Biobrick Tools
We also realize that there are unsolved problems on the software side of synthetic biology, so we are working with others to code tools to integrate into the Registry and are working on libraries to manipulate biobricks in general.
Abstract
We studied genes responsible for radiation resistance in Deinococcus and E. coli using whole genome analysis to compare frequencies of certain D.rad-related genes in experimental genomes.
Toolsets
The only way for the new field like synthetic biology to grow is to make it easier for new entrants. We contribute to the field by developing tools that ease biobrick project design and allow iGEMers to take to the wetlab more quickly.
