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

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.
