Welcome to Rose-Hulman's MitochONdriOFF project!
We're excited you're here! Feel free to look around, but this website is still under construction, so there are a lot of glitches. The construction of this website will end on September 18th, 2015. Thanks!

Rose Hulman's MitochOndriOFF focuses being able to control the cell's ability to perform aerobic respiration. The process through which we accomplish this is through turning off a gene, MRPS12 , which produces a protein that is necessary for mitochondrial ribosome function. This stops the electron transport train and forces the cell to ferment. Our chassis, S. Cerevisae can survive purely through fermentation, which allows us to test this process without killing the cell.
