Metagenomic mining of regulatory elements enables programmable species-selective gene expression

Robust and predictably performing synthetic circuits rely on the use of well-characterized regulatory parts across different genetic backgrounds and environmental contexts. Here we report the large-scale metagenomic mining of thousands of natural 5' regulatory sequences from diverse bacteria, a...
