Cluster 6

We aim to produce naturally transformable (NT) E. coli by inserting the NT genes of another species into it. We have chosen 23 genes from Acinetobacter baylyi and have planned to insert them into the fliK gene in the E. coli.

To do this, we have devised a novel recombineering strategy that allows for homologous recombination to insert large amounts of DNA sequentially into the chromosome. Thus, rather than inserting each of the 23 genes individually, we can transform them in clusters of genes.

We determined these clusters by assessing the biological function of each gene and through k-means clustering, and one such is shown here.
