NU Models: Breaking Down Walls!
NU Models seeks to expand promoter and ribosome binding site characterization of E. coli to other non-model organisms chosen for their promise in other fields of research. All processes take place in a cell-free system to provide a consistent characterization platform. This information is useful in synthetic biology applications for healthcare, the environment, and industry as it provides a basis for DNA design in organisms other than E. coli that are more optimized for the needs of a given application.
Updates
October 9th: Sent in our construct--the spinach-aptmer to iGEM HQ! This RFP-spinach aptamer deviates from currently submitted parts because it monitors and measures both mRNA concentration and protein concentration simultaneously via fluorescence.
October 17th: Characterized our part
Collaboration
Sent our water sample to the Cornell Team!
In contact with the UChicago Team about exchanging constructs
Getting Ready
For the Jamboree!
See you there!
