Design Notes

IS6110 has normally two open reading frames. OrfA (327 bp) and orfB (927 bp) are consecutive ORFs partially overlapping in the relative translational reading frames 0 and −1, respectively. For the purposes of our project, we designed primers for orfB only. To ensure maximum biosafety, we cloned only a non-functional fragment of the part into E. coli DH5-alpha via TA cloning. This guarantees safety for the environment for potential GM DNA transpositions, as well as enough DNA material for us to work on our project.
