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

but what if we could work in more organisms?

The goal of our project is to explore and compare the different transcriptional ad translational rates of known model organisms such as E. Coli to various non-model strains (as of right now we are considering pseudomonas fluorescens, streptomyces rimosus, and nitrosomonas europaea). This is in the hopes that by compilling a list of well-characterized parts, the information could be used to further the field of synthetic biology through environmental, health and other applications
