Design Notes

After we clarified the correlation between lacI dosage and its induction efficiency, we furthered the experiments by adding CRISPRi to the system. Instead of sfGFP, the IPTG induction devices with different levels of lacI generator is now going to produce a gRNA that targets the promotor of a constitutive sfGFP generator (BBa_K2558206, BBa_K2558207, BBa_K2558208). By adding IPTG, we can induce the transcription of gRNA. Binding with constantly expressed dCas9, gRNA is going to inhibit the expression of sfGFP. We will be able to observe how this process can operate under different levels of lacI expression.
