Design Notes

This part has been codon optimized for E.coli. The part must be in vitro transcribed to obtain the direct-repeat stem loop RNA structure and complex with Cas13a.


Source

The Mcy gene cluster comes from Microcystic Aeruginosa, however the crRNA originates from Leptrotrichia buccalis. The Cas13a protein comes from the Gram-negative bacteria Leptotrichia buccalis (Lbu).
