In our project, we used the IS6110 gene ([[Part:BBa_K2973009]]) as a DNA template, in order to perform isothermal amplification reactions with Recombinase Polymerase Amplification (RPA). Using this method, we were able to detect quantities as low as 10 to the minus 9 nanograms in reaction times ranging from five to 20 minutes. This primer (BBa_K2973016) was used along with its reverse primer (BBa_K2973017) for the amplification reactions. These primers include 5' overhangs ( a T7 promoter and a trigger sequence) to allow for transcription by a T7 RNA Polymerase and translation by a toehold-switch regulated system encoding for a reporter gene (BBa_K2973007). The expected amplified product length is 136 bp.

IS6110 Forward Primer with 5' Overhang

IS6110 is an insertion element found exclusively within the members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosi complex (MTBC). This part is a forward primer with a T7 Promoter (BBa_J64997) on its 5' end. The primer is designed to amplify the IS6110 gene (BBa_K2973009), along with its reverse primer (BBa_K2973017).

Usage and Biology

In our project, this primer (BBa_K2973016) was used along with its reverse primer (BBa_K2973017) for the amplification reactions of the IS6110 gene (Part:BBa_K2973009) that was used as a biomarker, in order to perform isothermal amplification reactions with Recombinase Polymerase Amplification (RPA). Using this method, we were able to detect quantities as low as 10 to the minus 9 nanograms in reaction times ranging from five to 20 minutes. These primers include 5' overhangs ( a T7 promoter and a trigger sequence) to allow for transcription by a T7 RNA Polymerase and translation by a toehold-switch regulated system encoding for a reporter gene (BBa_K2973007). The expected amplified product length is 136 bp.
