FluOpti: an open-source system for programmable whole-plate optogenetics and multi-fluorescence imaging

FluOpti enables programmable optogenetics and multi-fluorescence imaging across whole petri dishes to study spatial gene network dynamics in bacterial colonies.

Open Educational Resources for distributed hands-on teaching in molecular biology

This paper describes open educational resources for teaching molecular biology techniques using locally produced reagents, open-source hardware, and free software, demonstrating their effectiveness in remote and low-resource settings.

Novel Library Assembly Technique for Developing Nanobodies Targeting IPNv VP2 Protein

This paper develops a novel nanobody library assembly technique for targeting IPNv VP2 protein, identifying specific nanobodies with diagnostic potential.

Flapjack: a data management and analysis tool for genetic circuit characterization

Flapjack is a tool for managing and analyzing genetic circuit data to support the DBTL cycle by organizing measurements and metadata for model parameterization and prediction.

Universal Loop assembly (uLoop): open, efficient, and species-agnostic DNA fabrication

The paper introduces uLoop, a DNA assembly method that enables efficient, hierarchical fabrication of large DNA constructs across any organism.

Phase space characterization for gene circuit design

The paper introduces a method to characterize gene circuit dynamics using phase space and shows that expression rates are context-dependent but follow piecewise linear dynamics.

Low cost and open source multi-fluorescence imaging system for teaching and research in biology and bioengineering

The paper describes a low-cost, open-source multi-fluorescence imaging system for teaching and research, capable of imaging from single colonies to entire plates.
