Project Summary

  • A light-sensitive promoter and/or a time sensitive

promoter.

  • We would also like to have a promoter that will turn genes "on" at specific times, such as every minute (or whatever designated

time you want). In this way, you could enable cyclic cellular functions.

  • The applications associated with this tool are expansive in

nature, and we would make great contributions to biobricks with these promoters.

What We Don't Know (but need to know)

Experiment Ideas

Questions/Discussion

  • Chris - How is this different from synthetic oscillators? ie. The repressilator and the Hasty oscillations?
