Project Design


Gene Cassettes are the carriers of genetic information in our design. They are small, modular chunks of DNA containing a gene flanked by AttC sites. Cassettes, unlike plasmids, are non-replicative and so do not require extra genes to modulate or initiate replication. To create a cassette simply requires the use of primers to create half AttC sites at either end and circularizing the product through Gibson Assembly or in other ways.
