iGEM Uppsala chromoprotein collection

Bringing color to the world of synthetic biology since 2011



Something we have come to realise is that sometimes the most useful parts are also the simplest. IGEM Uppsala first began synthesising several chromoproteins from sea anemones and corals back in 2011 and transforming them into E. coli. The result was the growth of strikingly colourful bacterial colonies. This was expanded on during the 2012 project, however because of a mix up they were never sent to the registry.

Since then the interest in them has exploded. In this year alone around 10 teams have contacted us requesting our chromoproteins. They have been featured on the parts registry front page, published on the front cover of Nature reviews microbiology 10 year anniversary issue and been requested by NASA for possible future space applications.


This is why iGEM Uppsala is proud to present our complete chromoprotein collection, sent into the registry with and without RBS and together with a range of popular promoters. Our hope is that by providing a comprehensive list of different chromoproteins to the registry that others will continue to find new purposes for them.
Coming soon
