Although many microorganisms have been used for the bioindustrial generation of valuable
metabolites, the productive potential of cyanobacterial species has remained largely …

… There are at least three ways that nuclear transport can be regulated. The first is by
modification of the cargo, which in turn affects its ability to interact with its cognate transporter. …

Synthetic biology seeks to extend approaches from engineering and computation to redesign
of biology, with goals such as generating new chemicals, improving human health, and …

… Four new mec-3 alleles were identified in this way (see Experimental Procedures), but
none… Injected pTU24 DNA behaved in a similar way. It is our impression that the inheritance …

The mammalian gut is a dynamic community of symbiotic microbes that interact with the host
to impact health, disease, and metabolism. We constructed engineered bacteria that survive …

Photovoltaic cells have considerable potential to satisfy future renewable-energy needs, but
efficient and scalable methods of storing the intermittent electricity they produce are …

We describe below several new variants of the tetracycline-resistance transposon Tn10
which are more useful than the wild-type transposon for many types of genetic and physical …

The bioindustrial production of fuels, chemicals, and therapeutics typically relies upon
carbohydrate inputs derived from agricultural plants, resulting in the entanglement of food and …

… A number of genes (eg, mec-4 and mec-7] appear to be selectively expressed in touch
receptor neurons, and we have hypothesized that mec-3 is required for their ex pression (Way …

Bacteria can be engineered to function as diagnostics or therapeutics in the mammalian gut
but commercial translation of technologies to accomplish this has been hindered by the …
