Most of the existing genetic engineering has been done with E. Coli

But what if we could work in more organisms?

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.
