Introduction

Establishing new standards for iGEM, the Heidelberg 2009 team will be concerned with developing ways for measuring promoters in mammalian cells, a default chassis and a first evaluation of the recently postulated BioBrick beta proposal 2 (Tom Knight). Considering the importance of controlling gene expression, our team's work will focus on natural and synthetic mammalian promoters. Our vision is to provide the synthetic biology community with a methodical library of such promoters (with different output strength and sensitivity to different regulatory proteins) and a model which can provide guidance for the development of further synthetic promoters. Our efforts will therefore, from the very beginning, equally entail bioinformatics and wet lab work.
