Hybrid Promoter
Goals: The goal of this side-project is the create a hybrid or combinatorial promoter that accepts two inputs. This will be used in the creation of an AND logic gate.

Biobricks of Interest:
BBa_K091101 pTet_Lac hybrid promoter

Today we came up with a schematic of a possible decoder:
We looked more closely at the biobricks: BBa_I14032, BBa_R0040, BBa_K137125, BBa_K091101.
BBa_R0040 and BBa_K091101 were available to us in the registry distribution so we transformed these into cells to test them.
