Week 4: Improving plasmid design, Modularization of the whole model

Wednesday, June 18th

• We improved a little bit the plasmid design, determined which parts will be taken from the iGEM registry, and which parts we have to synthesize.

Second draft of plasmids. The repressors production genes have been moved to the sensor plasmid in order to distribute more evenly the number of kb.

Sensor plasmids will be approx. 9.3kb long, and logic plasmids will be approx. 5,2kb long.

• From the modeling side, the whole model has been modularized and we have calculated and simulated steady state for the quorum sensing module.
• GeneScript, Microsynth, EraSynbio are willing to support us !
