Overview
Anti-sense RNA is studied actively over the world. However, reliable method for gene silencing has not been clear. It is hard to find efficient sequence of anti-sense RNA and to synthesize new anti-sense fragment in keeping with your target gene.
We have a good idea! It is useful to use common anti-sense for different target gene.
Here we found that anti-sense-RBS (B0034) fragment, which is used by many iGEMers commonly, works to silence several proteins. We synthesized anti-sense B0034 fragment. Regardless of target gene, only one anti-sense fragment, anti-sense B0034, works on B0034 and repress the expressions of various proteins if they are regulated by B0034.
We also synthesized anti-sense-B0032 fragment in order to achieve specific gene silencing. You can change the target protein by changing the combination of anti-sense fragment and RBS locating upstream of target gene.
Specific anti-sense-RBS fragment helps you save labor to make new anti-sense RNA for each target genes. Fortunately, iGEM HokkaidoU team select tractable RBS for designing anti-sense-RBS fragment. You can use our anti-sense fragments without resynthesizing your constructs. What you only have to do is to add our anti-sense fragment to the construct with the target gene!!
