+ | <i>WU Yunmin, Claire, Yr1 BICH:</i><br>Synthetic biology applies what we have to make up what we want, just like building up Lego. The magic lies in that the final product can never be predicted based on the raw materials we have so far. Even though today we are still at a preliminary stage, where changing or synthesizing a segment of DNA may cost a lot of money and effort, we are determined to master it one day. Just one more thing to notice, the stronger the power, the more careful we have to be to deal with it. | ||

1. ASM
1.1. Theory – how to select?
The E. trojan is a synthetic E.coli strain that is engineered to lack an essential gene, nadE, in its genomic DNA. To survive, this strain has to rely on a pre- introduced plasmid (pDummy) bearing the essential gene; thus forcing the bacteria to maintain the plasmid until an alternative source of nadE gene is present. The pDummy, however, has been designed to have a temperature- sensitive origin of replication which would cease to function if the bacterial cells are incubated under higher incubation temperatures (>42ᵒC???). |
