Project Description
Sensing is an essential aspect of engineering. We need information about the world to make intelligent efforts to manipulate it. Ideal sensors are reliable, low maintenance and unobtrusive. Plants as biosensors fulfill these requirements and have further benefits. Our aim is to produce a framework for a biosensor operating through the lower plant Marchantia Polmorpha. The input, processing and output functionality is parceled into modules which are interchangeable Mendl style genetic crossing
Introducing Marchantia polymorpha, a chassis brand new to iGEM.
