MEDEA/Parts Overview
Our project involved the creation of a range of genetic parts, which served a plethora of purposes, most importantly, the creation and evaluation of our MEDEA genetic system, as well as the validation of their activity. Some parts were designed and measured using software: aptamers were created using MPDR and modified hammerhead ribozymes were synthesized after their structure had been predicted using RNADock, RNA Composer and Chimera visualized (for more information, see Software and Modelling respectively).
We designed most of our parts so that they are both 3A Assembly and Golden Gate compatible. In this way, our parts were assembled into iGEM plasmid such as pSB1C3, in order to be validated, and the complete CIRCE plasmid was constructed via a Golden Gate assembly reaction, see Protocols. This way, we could use the same sequences for both purposes, a feature which could have great use in improving Access to Synthetic Biology.
