Welcome
Welcome to iGEM 2011 at UC Davis!
The four of us have been hard at work on this year's project. Things are coming along well -- we've developed a powerful (and simple) mutagenic PCR protocol, used it on GFP, created and screened a set of LacI promoter mutants, and have selected several TetR and c1 Lambda promoter mutants for characterization.
We are excited for the regional competition in Indianapolis and look forward to seeing all of the other American teams there!
Our Project
This is the third time a team at UC Davis has competed in the iGEM Jamboree. This year, we are focusing on foundational advances for BioBrick circuit synthesis. Our project aims to streamline the process of mutant library generation from BioBrick parts, from promoters to protein-coding genes.
We set out to create useful mutant libraries of commonly used parts, starting with the repressible LacI, TetR and Lambda c1 promoters. You can read more about our project here.
We think that thorough characterization should be a priority for all parts submitted to the registry. You can view information about our project on our project page and review our characterization process and more information on our constructions (say, for LacI) on our data page.
