Goals: Our team will be characterizing various small RNAs and submitting them to the Parts Registry as working biobricks. We will insert the sRNA gene into a high-copy plasmid and its target sequence before the GFP gene in a low-copy plasmid. We will then transform both plasmids into E. coli cells. The sRNA should successfully repress expression of the GFP gene and result in a decrease in fluorescence. We will be using a protocol documented in a paper by Urban and Vogel (please see the Protocols page).
