Design Notes

This is a LoxP site which is the target of Cre Recombinase. It is normally 34-bp, but we added 2bp to the 3' end so that the part can be assembled within a transcribed region of our system. The 2bp added do not cause a stop codon and should not interfere with transcription.

We used the 34-bp LoxP Site from the 2010 iGEM initial distribution, then rebiobricked it using a reverse primer that contained the extra 2bp.
