Moss Biobrick
Our intention with the Moss project was to attempt to create a plant promoter which could be used to test biobricks in ''E.coli'' and could then transferred into basic plants such as ''Physcomitrella patens'' and then onto higher plants for further research.
The promoter that was selected was the Cauliflower Mosaic Virus 35S promoter (CaMV promoter) which is a common promoter used in plant research. Although there is a biobrick which already has this promoter, we aimed to extract the core section of the promoter which was the last 300 base pairs.
