Design Notes

Codon optimization for Glycine max (soybean) is a unique design consideration for all of CU Boulder’s coding sequences including our GFP reporter. Codon optimization is the intentional use of specific codons for specific amino acids, dependent on what tRNAs are most abundant in the organism. While codon optimization is a common consideration for synthetic biologists, our sequences are unique for iGEM because they are intended for expression in soybeans.

This super folding Green fluorescent protein sequence is derived from Aequorea victoria1 and is a common reporter gene used in many different organisms. All of our DNA fragments are obtained via de novo synthesis by iGEM sponsors Twist Bioscience and Integrated DNA technologies.
