Design Notes
In order to determine which region of the mcyH gene our crRNA should target, we used the RNAfold tool. This allowed us to locate a target sequence that met the ideal design criteria of being close to the 5' end of the sequence, being relatively unfolded region in the mRNA secondary structure, and having a high probability of remaining single-stranded.
This crRNA coding region was designed to be the reverse compliment of the region it will target.
Note that this crRNA will target Microcystis aeruginosa cyanobacteria.
