Specifications

Our proposal is to provide a bacterial genome editing approach based on BioBrick parts assembly easy to engineer as A, B, C… CRISPR

Scientific community had achieved great results using CRISPR-Cas9 mediated genome editing techniques. While these methods are moving forward, some basic methodological aspects related to this approach could be further improved to expand this science revolution.

Cas9 (BBa_K2457001): Standardized Cas9 device, regulated by the AraC_pBAD regulatory module. In the single guide RNA presence, it forms a catalytically active ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex which cleaves specifics target sequences from DNA, leading to double-strand breaks. Through cell repair pathways, it will lays the road to genomic editing in living cells.
