ChassiDex
A database for host organisms
Is E. coli enough for all our synthetic biology needs?
In the recent years, synthetic biologists have used many alternate host organisms to take advantage of their unique characteristics. It is advantageous to use natural capabilities of different host organisms to achieve our goals.
In other words, we require the right host for the right task.

So you've found the right host for your idea.
But you've never used it before!
How do you get started?

Our solution
We've developed ChassiDex, an online resource that will help synthetic biologists get started with unconventional host organisms. At the core of the project is a database of host organisms and related information. The resource also includes host specific software tools and a manual listing guidelines to help start with new host organisms.
