Design Notes
Part:BBa_K1062003 is a gRNA that specifically targets the end of the XylE gene.
gRNA
A gRNA is a 102 nt sequence in which contains: a 20 nt sequence which will contain the sequence of the intended target, a 42 nt Cas9-binding hairping, and a 40 nt transcription terminator.
Figure 1: An image show a general picture of a gRNA.
An important thing to note when using or creating a gRNA is that before the 20nt sequence, there must be a 3nt sequence called a PAM sequence which contain this sequence 5'-NGG-3'. This 3nt sequence is what the Cas9 use as a binding signal. It is also important to point out that the PAM sequence is never in the gRNA itself.
