Design Notes

We designed primers to remove the signal sequence from this nucleotide sequence to allow for intracellular expression of the protein.


Source

We amplified the Dispersin B gene from iGem part BBa_K802001 received from the Lyon-INSA iGem team. Although Dispersin B had several entries in the iGEM registry, no physical part had been submitted until our submission.
