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.
Figure 2: An example of a PAM sequence before the 20nt target sequence.

The gRNA was design by the iGEM team by using APE file. Once the gRNA was finalized, the team ordered primers and used PCR sewing in order to create the gRNA.
