What?

In this project a novel small RNA technology for gene silencing in bacteria is developed. The silencing is flexible and works in most bacteria. For more information go to [[[[Team:DTU-Denmark/Project/Overview|project overview]].

Why?

Gene knockout is a fundamental technique in biology. It is currently a time-consuming process restricted to nonessential genes. For more perspectives go to [[Team:DTU-Denmark/Vision|project vision]].

How?

Inspired by the chitobiose system in E. coli we constructed a biological and mathematical model of the small RNA technology. For additional details go to [[Team:DTU-Denmark/Technical_stuff|technical stuff]].
