Design Notes
During the optimization illegal restriction sites were avoided. Another thing to keep in mind was to figure out wich codons to choose for E. coli K12.
The sgRNA was designed according to the design protocol "CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) for sequence-specific control of gene expression". [1] An important thing to keep ind mind when designing a sgRNA is off-targets. Therefore, the sgRNA sequence was aligned to the core genome of our chassis E coli K12 TOP10 and KG22 and no off-targets were found. Though, off-targets may appear in other bacteria strains.
Source
The original sequence of the dCas9 is from BBa_K1150000 and was codon optimized based on a codon frequency table [2]
The sequence of the sgRNA is designed on the basis of the mRFP sequence. The target sequence is determined according to the location of PAM sequences in the target sequence, which the dCas9 protein recognizes.
