Design Notes
Selectable markers need to be used in each gene cluster to be able to select for colonies that have successfully incorporated them into the E. coli chromosome. The Babushka doll method requires all the clusters to have a unique antibiotic resistance marker. There are many selectable markers available, but we needed to also consider that the clusters need to mostly stay under 5kb as well.
We found that the following configuration was possible:
Table 1. Assigned selectable markers to gene clusters.
Name | Selectable Marker Used | Total Cluster Length (bp) |
Cluster 1 | TpR | 4174 |
Cluster 2 | AmpR | 4274 |
Cluster 3 | fosC2 | 4876 |
Cluster 4 | CmR | 5015 |
Cluster 5 | GmR | 4948 |
Cluster 6 | TcR | 3370 |
Cluster 7 | malS | 2958 |
Cluster 8 | qacE | 5128 |

Where possible, restriction enzymes were removed to minimise off-target effects. Substitute bases were chosen to most closely match the natural codon frequency in bacteria.
