Design Notes

This is a LoxP site which is the target of Cre Recombinase. It is normally 34-bp, but we added 2bp to the 3' end so that the part can be assembled within a transcribed region of our system. The 2bp added do not cause a stop codon and should not interfere with transcription.

Source

34-bp LoxP Site from the iGEM initial distribution, then amplified with primers that contain an additional 2 bp on one end.
