NOISE - W&M iGEM

NOISE

Characterization of promoter-derived transcriptional noise in E. coli

Measurement & Modeling

We measured noise in fluorescence data for dual-integrated sets of CFP and YFP under three promoters: BBa_R0010, BBa_R0011, and BBa_R0051. We also developed an analytic model of the impact of plasmid copy number fluctuations on transcriptional noise, which revealed that intrinsic noise cannot be accurately measured from reporters on the pSB1X3 plasmid series.

Human Practices

Our Human Practices effort was a multi-faceted outreach approach to science literacy, focusing specifically on spreading a basic understanding of synthetic biology to the general public. We collaborated with numerous organizations (logos below) to host nine educational Synthetic Biology workshops for the public (from first graders to adults!) and to implement our original, 24-activity Synthetic Biology curriculum into schools worldwide, to further sustain our efforts for years to come.

Noise, one promoter at a time.
