Lsh crRNA targeting GFP with T7 promoter

This CRISPR RNA (crRNA) is designed to interact with Cas13a isolated from Leptotrichia shahii (Lsh). It is designed to target a segment of GFP mRNA transcript. It is designed to be inducibly expressed under a T7 promoter and was used for in vivo experiments in E. coli BL21(DE3). Experiments were conducted in the plasmid pUC19.

wetlab data

We completed a dual plasmid transformation. To confirm that we had both plasmids present we completed a digest test because PCR amplification from the colony was not working. This should separate our construct from the plasmid confirming that both parts are present. In figure 1, only linearized cuts are seen. Due to both plasmids being approximately the same size it is difficult to see. However, there are two bands present. In figure 2, only linearized cuts are seen near the 3000 bp mark. Due to both plasmids being approximately the same size it is difficult to see. However, there are two bands present. The second band at approximately 2000 bp is plasmid backbone, while the 1000 bp mark is the GFP insert. The crRNA insert (expected size is ~260 bp) is likely not seen in the gel due to having to run the gel longer to get better resolution for the upper bands.
