Design Notes

G (1390) changed from C to confer the Arginine -> Glycine substitution indicated in the paper: ttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC114050/ which confers 500x increase in colony count.

PstI restriction site CTGCAG → CTCCAG by changing the G at position 168 based on codon bias indicated in: http://www.kazusa.or.jp/codon/cgi-bin/showcodon.cgi?species=9606. PstI= ctgcag= LQ (they are in frame in the RdRP).

Before CUG=0.04% and CAG= 0.034%, which are indeed the highest. We went with CUC which is 0.02%, half than before remains the best option.
