KEY PLASMID DESIGN

 

 

Random Brick formation (Components of plasmid)

___________________________

 

 

 

These bricks are formed from a random soup of characterised promoters "P", a reporter gene fluorescent protein, and a random terminator "T". This uses BSA I sites already digested previously into the DNA in order to ligate randomly in the correct order to create a random, yet purposeful and functional fluorescent signal.

Brick stitching

___________________________

 

These bricks are then stitched together via amplifying each randomly assembled brick through common amplification sites and then cutting them using a set of restriction enzymes which give each plasmid a specific order of bricks, depending on which are cut and then ligated together. As shown.
