Choosing our Favourites

All of our parts labelled as 'favourites' on our parts registry page have been fully characterized.

Fluorescent Construct: eCFP

BBa_K631037 - GPC-1:eCFP:UNC-54

This is our favourite fluorescence construct! It is a composite part for our reporter system using cyano-fluorescent protein under the GPC-1 promoter that expressed successfully! Length: 3787


ADBR2 Chemotaxis Construct

BBa_K631032 - ODR7:ADBR2:UNC-54

The other favourite chemotaxis contruct is also under the ODR-7 promoter. This composite is part designed to place the non-native ADBR2 receptor protein, also acquired from Mus musculus, into the neurons of the worm to give it the ability to detect phenol (albuteroll). Length: 3666

OX1R Chemotaxis Construct

BBa_K631031 - ODR7:OX1R:UNC-54

This is one of our favourite chemotaxis constructs! It is a composite part designed to place the non-native GPCR, OX1R, into the neurons of the worm using the ODR-7 promoter, acquired from Mus musculus, for expression in the AWA olfactory neurons. This should give our worm the ability to detect cholorobenzoic acid!
