gRNA (AAG+ BBa_K3859000)

This is a gRNA used in a CRISPR-Cas12 system. It mainly comprises a Cas12 handle (BBa_K2961003) which combines with a Cas12 enzyme and a guide sequence (BBa_K3859000) which binds with a dsDNA to activate the Cas12 enzyme.

Usage and Results

We design a plasmid based on pET-28a plasmid by t-PCR method. We inserted the targeted sequence between the restriction enzyme site TCTAGA and CTCGAG. The PCR results show the successful plasmids construction since the site of the band is between 5000bp and 8000bp, shown in Graph 1. And the length of plasmid we design is also inside this region, exactly 5420bp. Moreover, we confirmed the sequence by gene sequencing, shown in Graph 2. All of the base pairs in the main region turns out to be accurate.

Graph 2 Verification of BBa_K4409015 by gene sequencing (The dark blue region shows the region that is uniform between parts we design, and the region between TCTAGA and CTCGAG are the specific base we want--being marked out by black box)

The igRNA produced can also produce fluorescence which is significantly bigger than negative control groups. The fluorescence produced is listed in the following graph:
