Project description

We feel strongly about the mission of synbio/iGEM to develop standardized DNA(?) parts that can be used in imaginable ways to create useful and inspiring applications. You can even build modular systems with them. However, building a cell that is stimulated by a specific input and as a consequence releases an output molecule or signal has to be done from scratch. Currently, there is no means of easily and quickly creating complex input/output intercellular pathways. We will develop two different yeast haploids - one mating type for the input and the other one for the output cells. By their mating, diploids that react to specific input and produce the desired output can be rapidly constructed. By the use of orthogonal signals, we will be also able to use them in more complex circuits in order to detect specified input combinations (e.g. markers on a cancer cell).
