Design Notes
We had to consider the size of the plsmid if we were to include two gRNAs to be expressed, but this depends on if the dCas9-FokI system is being used which requires two gRNAs or the dCas9-AID which only requires one gRNA.

The flanking ribozyme regions come from two separate genomes, the hammerhead ribozyme is present in several eukaryotic genomes and the Hepatitis delta virus ribozyme is derived from the hepatitis delta virus and are both known to self celave their phosphate backbone and are under the category of endonucleolytic ribozymes.
