Semantic Containment System

These parts collectively provide proof of concept for a semantic containment system that can prevent a horizontally transferred gene being read and expressed by any environmental cell that has picked it up. Our probability modelling predicts that a gene that has 5 and 10 amber STOP codons substituted into the coding sequence will only be expressed 1 in every 1010 and 1 in every 1018 translation attempts.
