| - | '''A Genetic Circuit for Directed Evolution ''in vivo''''' | + | |
| - | <br><br>
| + | |
| - | Directed evolution is a powerful tool for answering scientific questions or constructing novel biological systems. Here we present a simple genetic circuit for ''in vivo'' directed evolution which comprises minimal elements for random mutation and artificial selection. We engineer yeast to generate the DNA mutator hAID, an essential protein in adaptive immunity, and target it specifically to a gene of interest. The target gene will be mutated and consequently promptly evolves. By linking the expression of hAID repressor LacI and favorite gene functionality, the mutation rate inversely correlates between the functionality of the desired gene and hAID. This circuit may be adopted for ''in vivo'' evolution in eukaryotic system on genetically encoded targets. It has a variety of potential applications in academic and industrial contexts, theoretically most inter-molecular interaction that involves proteins and RNAs. <br>

| + | We are engineering our E.coli cells to process the correlation information of two environmental signal, similar to the process of classical conditioning in higher organisms. In our circuits we use a bistable switch as the memory module to represent the memory state; we also constructed a series of AND gates which can sense conditioned and unconditioned signals, and output a repressor protein to change the memory state of the bistable switch. In this way, our E.coli cells can convert the information on the concurrence of two signals to its memory. After the memory module is switched, given the conditioned stimulus, E.coli will activate its reporter module and thus exhibit the "conditioned response". |

| - | :The university has made an effective combination of the research on important scientific issues with the training of personnel with high level specialized knowledge and professional skill as demanded by the country's socialist modernization. It strives not only for the simultaneous improvements in teaching and research work, but also for the promotion of interaction and mutual promotion among various subjects.

| - | :Peking University has become a center for teaching and research and a university of the new type, consisting of diverse branches of learning such as pure and applied sciences, social sciences and the humanities, and sciences of management and education. Its aim is to rank among the world's best universities at the beginning of the next century.

| | + | ==='''Road Map'''=== |
| | + | Following is the road map of our project. We still need a second stage assembly in order to finish our project. |
| | + | You can click on the pictures to see the '''results''' of each module.So here it is. |

| + | You would really want to read our report from a survey we carried out on DIYbio. |
| - | |-
| + | Many similar surveys focus on what people think about, and what people would '''possibly''' do if faced with such problems. Our survey shows what people '''really''' do to DIYbio. It directly reflects the reality of the present situation that DIYbio is in.<br> |

| - | |-
| + | Our original AND Gate is from Voigt Lab. We make it into standard parts and use a combination of promoter, which leads to several AND Gates that has different properties. The most wonderful thing in the summer holiday that we achieved a greatly improved AND Gate.<br> |

| + | The most difficult work in the construction of a multi-Module system is assembly. After we have accomplished all the individual modules from Jul to Sept, we made a breakthrough during the National Day (we did experiments during the holiday). That is the first stage assembly is accomplished.<br> |
