We at the iGEM DTU-Denmark team are designing an sRNA based regulatory system compatible with the BioBrick standard. Our core ideas are inspired by a novel mechanism of sRNA mediated post-transcriptional regulation found in E. Coli and Salmonella. The naturally occurring system consists of a regulation topology where one sRNA inhibits another sRNA, which in turn inhibits a third RNA that is translated. The inhibitions might be codable on the sequence level and therefore the system may provide design solutions enabling efficient regulatory control and specificity towards any BioBrick module. To test whether this is the case, we are constructing a biological E. Coli model enabling us to control the synthesis of both sRNAs and measure the outcome of the regulatory system.

Vision

Gene silencing is a fundamental technique in biology. It is currently a time-consuming process restricted to nonessential genes and a few bacteria. For more perspectives and possible solutions go to project vision.

Project

In this project a novel small RNA technology for gene silencing in bacteria is developed. We applied bioinformatics, experimental biology and mathematical modeling. For a full description go to project overview.

Background

To help you understand the science of the project important concepts are explained. This covers small RNA, synthetic biology and more advanced topics. To get informed go to background.
