This is a work in progress, bear with us.
"Fixing" several broken inverters
We will demonstrate the utility of the screening plasmid for fixing "broken" inverters via directed evolution. Preliminary results with the tetR-based inverter <bbpart>Q04400</bbpart> showed early success of this method.
Procedure
Endy:Library-based construction/Inverter library protocol
Reshmaverters
We are working with Reshma Shetty to test her new inverter designs.
