This operator, when paired with a guide RNA, expresses GFP.

Single Operator

The BostonU 2016 iGEM team set out to design a set of mutually orthogonal guide RNA (gRNA) expressing and guide RNA operator pairs that could activate the expression of a gene of interest. This part contains target sequence for g13 from BostonU’s Gemini Library (GTTCTAAACGTTGGTCCGTC). As figure 2 indicates, the introduction of the gRNA leads to a several fold increase in expression in comparison to the basal level without the gRNA. The matrix, figure 3, illustrates the results from a mutual orthogonality screen showing on target and off target expression levels among the guide expression vectors and the guide operator vectors in our system . The results from this experiment show that there is no significant expression among off target pairs, demonstrating that there is no cross talk in Gemini.
