Abstract:
The invention relates to methods and products for generating diverse libraries of genetic material. The products include libraries and constructed nucleic acids as well as kits and databases and systems thereof.
Abstract:
The invention relates to anti-sigma factors (“anti-sigmas”) that bind to sigma factors and block activation of transcription. Anti-sigmas and their cognate sigma factors provide a highly effective mechanism for regulating gene expression in genetic circuits.
Abstract:
Expression cassettes comprising promoter and terminator combinations are provided and can be used to tune gene expression. Synthetic yeast promoters and methods of making them also are provided.
Abstract:
The invention relates to DNA destruction devices and related methods reagents and kits. The DNA destruction devices are useful for achieving target specific DNA destruction in vivo using a system that involves an actuator element and a CRISPR array, under specific regulatory control.
Abstract:
Provided herein, in some aspects, are tools (e.g., methods, compositions and nucleic acids) for building genetic circuits in Bacteroides and Parabacteroides bacteria, as well as the bacteria containing the genetic circuits.
Abstract:
Cells that can synthesize oligonucleotides in vivo to produce a nucleic acid nanostructure are described. Methods for producing oligonucleotide nanostructures for use in regulating gene expression and altering biological pathways are provided. Methods of performing multiplex automated genome editing (MAGE) are also provided.
