Design Notes

The vector we used in our experiment was created using scarless golden gate assembly. We cloned this composite part into a psb1c3 vector for standardization. This part contains a U6 promoter and we add a sequence that can form hairpin RNA downstream.

Source

We designed the shRNA according to the homology segment sequence of PDE5A from NCBI
