Design Notes
The USYD 2021 team aimed to create naturally transformable (NT) bacteria by inserting the genes involved for NT from A. baylyi into a strain of E. coli. Due to the large number of genes (23) the genes were inserted sequentially in gene clusters. These were designed and created on SnapGene® software (from Insightful Science; available at snapgene.com).
One of the standard practices adhered to in the creation of these was that each cluster began with a KpnI restriction enzyme site, had a HindIII site between the last A. baylyi gene and the homology arm for the next cluster, and finally a BamHI site between the selectable marker and the terminator before the 3’ homology arm. This would allow for any necessary cuts/breaks to be made in the cluster, if say the cluster wasn’t working optimally and experimental diagnostics would need to be conducted to determine the problem with it.
