Design Notes

The melanopsin gene contains three illegal PstI sites. We noticed that many genes meant to be expressed in mammalian cells contain PstI sites, which makes the standardising of such genes more challenging, because site directed mutagenesis is required.

We planned on performing mutagenesis on all our Biobricks, but unfortunately we couldn't get the kit to arrive on time and get the mutagenesis to work. But we might try again.
