Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (cat)

cat is an antibiotic resistance gene, used in the first step of BRIDGE which requires the deletion of existing DNA (probably a non-coding piece or a non-essential gene) to select for cells which have taken up the construct by growing them on the relevant antibiotic.

Using the BRIDGE protocol, the markers are removed every time you insert a new gene, so they can be used again and again indefinitely. You could essentially replace the entire genome with biobricked versions.

Notes: This biobrick has complete suffix but prefix lacks NotI site, in compliance with RFC54. It is still completely compatible with RFC10 assembly.
