Part Collection
The Next vivo system is made up of >40 unique parts encoding both protein and RNA components. The main focus of our team this year was to submit all 38 TX-TL protein components to the registry as a collection of parts that anyone could use to produce their own Next vivo system. Several of these TX-TL components were already in the registry but were under different expression control, lacked purification tags, and/or were not codon optimized for expression in E. coli. As such we sought to improve these parts for future use.
Part Design Overview
Each part in our collection was designed with several features in mind:
- Optimized for expression in E. coli
- N- or C-terminal hexahistidine affinity tag
- Constructs contain the T7 promoter (BBa_I719005), medium RBS (BBa_B0034), and double terminator (BBa_B0015)
Future Use for iGEM
