The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

A Synthetic Genetic Edge Detection Program (2009, methodology): “(Left) The light-sensitive protein Cph8 is a chimeric sensor kinase bearing the photoreceptor domain of the Synechocystis phytochrome Cph1 and the kinase domain of E.coli EnvZ (Levskaya et al., 2005).”

Engineering BioBrick vectors from BioBrick parts (2008, result): “In contrast to the previous two examples, the BioBrick physical composition standard has been used by multiple groups (Canton, Labno, and Endy, submitted) [ 10-12 ], and adoption of the standard is growing.”
Engineering an improved light-induced dimer (iLID) for controlling the localization and activity of signaling proteins (2014, background): “This system requires a chromophore, phycocyanobilin that is not naturally present in many organisms, including mammals (7, 8).”
