Design Notes

Homologous sites in primers designed by researchers to clone the pir gene into the E. coli BW25141 genome were used to clone out and standardize the pir gene. This is to avoid truncation of pir gene, and therefore junk sequences of 154 base pairs can be found downstream of the pir CDS.
