Design Notes

One of the Cardiff_Wales iGEM instructors Daniel Pass, designed a bioinformatic toolfor the selection of appropriate guide RNAs from E.coli ribosomal 16S RNA that adhered to the following rules:

- The 3' end of the DNA target sequence must have a proto-spacer adjacent motif (PAM) sequence (5'-NGG-3').

- The 20 nucleotides upstream of the PAM sequence will be your targeting sequence (crRNA) and Cas9 nuclease will cleave approximately 3 bases upstream of the PAM.

- The PAM sequence itself is absolutely required for cleavage, but it is NOT part of the sgRNA sequence and therefore should not be included in the sgRNA.

- The target sequence can be on either DNA strand.

From this programwe identified the the following 'R1' guide sequence: GGTGGGGTAACGGCTCACCA

This guide sequence was added to a conserved DNA scaffold sequence used for the expression of guideRNAs: GTTTTAGAGCTAGAAATAGCAAGTTAAAATAAGGCTAGTCCGTTATCAACTTGAAAAAGTGGCACCGAGTCGGTGCTTTTTT

This was synthesised as a single fragment and directly cloned into pSB1C3 using EcoRI and PstI.
