Advanced Genetic Engineering

WMLS13003

The emphasis will be on the practical aspects of genetic engineering of novel circuitries and on the principles of Synthetic Biology, both in silico and in the lab. In principle, the students will work in pairs on a research project in the practical part. The students will avail of- and study a number of bacterial strains with earlier developed DNA-biobricks (also from iGEM collections). Novel circuitries will be designed and engineered using Gram-positive or Gram-negative organisms as hosts. Modeling efforts will support the design. The engineered circuits will be characterized using various statistics-, bioinformatics and visualization packages, and functionality will be tested experimentally (e.g. by fluorescence microscopy or enzymatic assays).

In this course, theory and practicals will be combined to give an in-depth view of current (high-throughput) genetic engineering approaches, gene regulatory mechanisms and -networks related to microbial physiology-Advanced genetic engineering: this includes use of Biobricks, Gibson assembly, use of BACs and YACs, toolboxes, gene integration, complex genetic circuitries (natural and synthetic): bistability, toggle switches, oscillations, feed-back mechanisms.
