Deinococcus Genome / Transcriptome Sequencing
To discover genes that may protect against ionizing radiation, we are sequencing the genomes of 20 radiation-resistant Deinococcus species. We are also performing RNA-seq experiments to ascertain what genes are upregulated by radiation exposure.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.
