Informatics

To introduce a novel chassis and make full advantage of its properties, we want to computationally analyse its genome in order to:

  • optimise codon usage in our registry parts and to facilitate future synthetic biology work on Marchantia;
  • identify and characterise promoters, in particular looking for strong, inducible, tissue-specific or early development stage promoters.


Codon usage optimisation

Our start point was the Marchantia genome and the Open Reading Frame (ORF) predicted with the Geneious software (http://www.geneious.com/).
