Project Overview

Solving the Pancake Problem with an E. coli Computer Our goal is to genetically engineer a biological system that can compute solutions to a puzzle called the burnt pancake problem. The EHOP computer is a proof of concept for computing in vivo, with implications for future data storage devices and transgenic systems.

Literature and Registry Research

Registry Search for Possible Promoters:

BBa_J24669 --- arabinose induced

BBa_R0082 --- Is upstream of the ompC porin gene

BBa_R0074 --- Penl regulated

BBa_I14017 --- P(Rhl)

BBa_I14018 --- P (Bla) --> amp resistance

BBa_J3902 --- Pr Fe (Pl + Pll rus operon)

BBa_R0077 --- CinR --> thought to have own terminator

BBa_R0078 --- CinR (no RBS)

BBa_R0062 --- luxR & HSL regulated -- luxpR

Possibly the use of Constitutive Promoter Family Members to strengthen other promoters.
