Design Notes

An AscI and BsrGI restriction site were added at the beginning and end of the sequence respectively in order to clone this part into our testing modules.

AscI is compatible with MluI

BsrGIis compatible with BsiWI and TatI

This Internal Ribosome Entry Site (IRES) was derived from the Encephalomyocarditis Virus genome. It is commonly used in replicon experiments in HeLa cells. Specifically this sequence was taken from the detailed genome used in the Lohmann (1999) HCV replicon experiment.
