Mösbi

Mösbi introduces a brand new chassis to iGEM. It is Marchantia polymorpha, a compact, fast-growing and primitive plant, engineered into a flexible biosensor that could respond to a user-specified input in a user-specified way. With its modulable input, processing, and output plugins linked with transcription factors and their upstream binding sites, mösbi’s functions can be mixed and matched either using traditional molecular techniques or via sexual crossing to create a tailor-made biosensor suiting anyone’s needs in the comfort of their own homes.

Plan

Use Marchantia as a flexible biosensor. The input, processing and output functionality are parceled into separate modules which are linked using transcription factors and inducible promoters. The modules can be interchanged, allowing many devices to be constructed from the same library of components.

Vision

Produce input, processing and output modules in separate plants which can be combined through Mendelian crossing. We want to make plant biosensors accessible to the home enthusiast in the same way that electronics is made accessible by Arduino.
