This toehold switch was designed according to the B-series ideal structure from Pardee et al. (2016). This structure was improved from the original toehold switch structure (Green et al., 2014) to reduce translational leakage. We screened the Sweet potato leaf curl virus genome for conserved sequences. Each sequence was divided into 36-nucleotide long subsequences and we designed toehold switches designed to specifically bind to the sequence. This toehold switch was designed using the 21-nucleotide linker (Green et al., 2014). We assigned a score for each toehold switch based on the three-parameter fit from Ma et al. (2018) and selected the best-ranking toehold switches for our library.

This part was created by us, screening SPLCV whole genomes for conserved sequences to be detected by the toehold switches.
