iGEM iDeas

Powerpoint with two possible project ideas. [http://staff.missouriwestern.edu/~eckdahl/Research/Synthetic_Biology_2006/IGEMideas%2005-29-06.ppt]

Parts to Make:

HixL: TTCTGGAAAA CCAAGGTTTT TGATAA

HixR: TTATCAAAAA CCTTCCAAAA GGAAAA

HixC: TTATCAAAAA CCATGGTTTT TGATAA

HixC1: TTCTGGAAAACC AT CCAAAAGGAAAA

Steps

1. Design/Order DNA – Hix L, R, & C

2. On receiving – restrict/ligate BioBricks into plasmid w/resistance gene on one side

    a.	Promoter, RBS BioB

    b.	TetR BioB (Backwards)

    c.	Term BioB 

3. Transform E. col

E = G/AATC

X = T/CTAGA

P = CGAT/CG

S = A/CTAGT
