If you’re interested in learning more about the nuts and bolts of synthetic biology in bacteria, have a look at this guide. It’s an important foundation for Thuronyi lab research. Your comments and suggestions are welcome to help us improve it!

There are several published research papers that give a good overview of Vnat synthetic biology or that are core to the methods we use:

• This review paper summarizes synbio work in Vnat so far and has a comprehensive bibliography.
• Dalia et al. describe natural transformation in Vnat in this important paper.
• Our lab uses parts from a Golden Gate collection from a team at the University of Marburg, specially developed for Vnat. The collection is described here and you can learn more about the basics of Golden Gate in this guide.
