Design Notes

We designed the following primers and amplified Rluc promoter from the vector psi-Check2:Up: CCGGAATTCTCTAGACTGGCTGCCAAGTAGTAC Down: TGCACTGCAGACTAGTTACTGCTCGTTCTT. By incorporating these primers into Rluc promoter, the promoter is flanked by the iGEM prefix and suffix after amplification.


Source

In our experiment, we got the part from Shenzhen Second People's Hospital. Additionally, we did our system's function verification in Shenzhen Second People's Hospital.
