Bioscaffold/Overview

Contributing to the Bioscaffold part collection

To join the BioScaffold community, you can construct and test existing BioScaffold part designs, design new BioScaffold parts, design new uses for BioScaffold parts, or convert high use plasmids to a BioScaffold compatible format.

If you are interested joining the community or have already done so, please contact Julie Norville at (julie dot norville at gmail dot com and norville at mit dot edu) with the subject heading "BioScaffold parts" so that your work and insights can be described in future BioScaffold parts BBF RFCs or publications and/or you can be solicited as a co-author on these documents.

You may also wish to describe your intent to test already designed BioScaffold parts or convert BioBrick vectors to the BioScaffold format on the BioScaffold Part User Group wiki [http://openwetware.org/wiki/BioScaffold_Parts_Users_Group BioScaffold Parts User Group wiki] (especially if you wish to convert plasmids or other important parts to a BioScaffold part compatible format, since this is a task that a number of users may contemplate) so that others in the community do not duplicate your efforts. As the community grows, we will create a mailing list.

Bioscaffold/References


The enzymes that facilitate the removal of BioScaffold parts are defined by what region of the part that they excise:
External Enzymes: Do not cut solely inside the BioBrick Part (extend to Prefix, Suffix, and/or Scar regions)
Internal Enzymes: Cut inside the BioBrick Part (between the Prefix, Suffix, and/or Scar regions)


The classes of α, β, and γ BioScaffold parts are defined for assemblies of the form:
<Prefix> part1 <Scar>BioScaffold part<Scar>part2<Suffix>
class α parts: specific enzymes cut outside of scars surrounding the BioScaffold part
class β parts: specific enzymes cut within scars surrounding BioScaffold part
class γ parts: no specific enzymes, internal enzymes cut within the BioScaffold part
mixed parts: contain properties of several classes, name classes involved


Currently, BioScaffold parts and their status must be manually added to the following table. The restriction enzymes that should be removed to make vectors compatible with all the current versions of BioScaffold parts are PpiI, PsrI, AarI, and MabI. XmaI is being considered, but is not currently considered one of the essential BioScaffold enzymes. AscI and PacI are sometimes used instead of MabI because their restriction sites make them othogonal to many parts based on GC content, but are not currently considered essential for removal.

Currently pSB2K4 is the only vector compatible with all the BioScaffold enzymes. Thus if you plan to do BioScaffold part operations, you may wish to consider using pSB2K4. If you wish to help make BioScaffold parts more useful to the community then you could consider converting some of the classic BioBrick vectors (for example pSB1AC3, pSB1AK3, pSB1AT3) into forms compatible with the BioScaffold parts. If you plan to do this, please inform Julie Norville (at julie dot norville at gmail dot com) so that your efforts can be included in future publications on BioScaffold parts.
