Genetic Circuits

Here we show the full genetic circuit of The E.ncapsulator system. The design of the circuit has been kept very modular to facilitate reusability.
We will go through the genetic design of the system, module by module. If you are unfamiliar with genetic circuit diagrams, scroll down to the bottom of the page to check out our key to familiarise yourself with each circuit symbol and what it means. Otherwise scroll down to view our genetic circuit constructs.

Modular Genetic Circuits

Construction of Circuits

A cloning strategy has been devised, to allow for the construction of these genetic circuits in a logical These genetic circuits are put together using a logical step-by-step approach. As well as those parts making up the core of the genetic circuit, a number of intermediate testing constructs were designed as well, to allow for testing and part characterisation at different stages within the project.

BioBrick Submissions

This year, Imperial College have added 29 new parts to the BioBrick registry. In addition we sought to characterise some of these parts, including the thermosensitive BBa_K098995 construct which has now been made functional by us. Detailed information about the characterisation of some of our parts can be found in the Major Results page.
