Design Notes
The part is codon-optimized for expression in Escherichia coli. Besides, restriction sites for Biobrick Standard Assembly (EcoRI, PstI, XbaI, SpeI) and also BamHI and NocI were removed.
Source
It was designed by the iGEM 2021 team Rio_UFRJ_Brazil through the combination of promising Dengue epitopes in order to minimize cross-reaction with anti-Zika antibodies. After the design, it was synthesized by Genscript. The initial epitopes were collected from previous work from AnandaRao[1,2], which were submited to bioinformatics analysis in minimize cross-reaction.
