| Summary: | The existing biobrick assembly technique[1] provides a straightforward
way to combine standardized biological components, termed biobricks.
This system, however, is limited in that each protein-encoding biobrick
must contain a complete translated region. Signal sequences or other protein
domains often convey a specific function to the protein to which they
are attached; hence, each domain should be considered an independent
biological part. With the current assembly technique, assembling such
parts is not possible. This paper presents a revised assembly strategy
that is compatible with the current biobrick definition and permits the
construction of fusion proteins.
