Project Description

Circadian Clocks

Short background on circadian clocks... why they're important, why they're studied, maybe who studies them...

Our Project: The Sequestillator

put topology here with basic description

Landing Pads

A landing pad is tool used to place synthetic operons on a chromosome. We will be using two landing pads for our project: the arabinose landing pad and leucine landing pad. Both of these plasmids will replace the respective metabolic operons with our desired subcloned genetic elements. The leucine landing pad was constructed by a former member of the Ninfa lab, Dong Eun Chang. The arabinose landing pad was a part of our iGEM 2007 project, and was worked on by Alyssa Delke and Khalid Miri. Our reason for using these pieces is to limit the noise in our system so that hopefully we can see more sustained oscillations than previous synthetic clocks have given.

Sequestilator Modeling

If you like the way this looks, you could put a summary of what you modeled here and then we can have a separate page for modeling, which might be a good idea.

Sequestilator Fabrication

If you like the way this looks, you could put a summary of what you built here and then we can have a separate page for fabrication, which might be a good idea.
