Rather than engage this problem only as professionals, the problem was structured as a workshop which could draw on scientists and the public to see if interdisciplinary breadth could take on an introductory synthetic biology project which resulted in a publishable outcome. The problem would need to be from completely open data sources and not require difficult analysis and ideally looking at one or more typical bioinformatics data sources.   The new discipline of Synthetic biology has been focused on bacteria, but plants offer many advantages as systems for biological engineers. There is a paucity of published information however about how to control sets of genes working in concert. The  glowing plant project has solicited parts from the DIYBio community [reference] and so a an estimate of the power of translational initiation motifs was conceived as a useful project. It includes several  The group was posted through meetup.com for Counter Culture Labs and Berkeley Bio Labs, two groups with over 100 members each, and meet regularly every week or two at SudoRoom, a tech Maker space in downtown Oakland, CA.   The new discipline of Synthetic biology has been focused on bacteria, but plants offer many advantages as systems for biological engineers. There is a paucity of published information however about how to control sets of genes working in concert. As an initial exploration of plant systems.  Although there has been some experimental work on ribosome binding sites in plants, genomic surveys have been limited.
