Accomplishments:
Our goal was to enable epigenetic engineering. We believe synthetic biological systems should be as subtle and robust as natural organisms.
- Designed a functional fusion protein to facilitate epigenetic engineering
- Validated a novel methylation assay, MaGellin, to accelerate development of epigenetic engineering tools
- Built a complementary MaGellin software package to automate experimental analysis
- BioBrick'ed our MaGellin plasmid so other iGEM teams can build off our work
