Design Notes

In order to determine which region of the mcyH gene our crRNA should target, we used the RNAfold tool. This allowed us to locate a target sequence that met the ideal design criteria of being close to the 5' end of the sequence, being relatively unfolded region in the mRNA secondary structure, and having a high probability of remaining single-stranded.

This crRNA coding region was designed to be the reverse compliment of the region it will target.

Note that this crRNA will target Microcystis aeruginosa cyanobacteria.

This part was designed using a segment of the mcyH gene as a reference (GenBank: AAF00956.1)
