Design Notes
On either side of the GOI (here we have a barcode instead of GOI) there are two homology arms, HA Rev and HA For, each approximately 500bp long. These homology arms allow for precise recombination into the genome, mediated by integrase and recombinase enzymes. The integration site and the homology arms were derived from Park, Y. et al (2020). After transforming the pReplace plasmid into the Phase II competent cells (BBa_K5127015), the barcode is automatically integrated into the genome. At the same time, the bacteria are plated on 10% sucrose plates, and only those that have successfully replaced the SacB gene with the barcode will survive, as SacB is lethal in the presence of sucrose. The colonies that grow on these plates indicate successful integration. Finally, we will confirm the integration through colony PCR.
