Detect

Background

CRISPR/Cas systems generate site-specific double strand breaks and have recently be used for genome editing.

Results

  • Successfully cloned gRNA anti-KAN, crRNA anti-KAN, tracrRNA-Cas9 and pRecA-LacZ into Biobrick backbones and therefore generated four new BioBricks.
  • Testing the new assembly standard for our cloning.

Aims

Building a genotype sensor based on CRISPR/Cas that reports existance of an antibiotic resistance gene.

Target

Background

SirA is an essential gene in latent tuberculosis infections

Results

  • Produced an E. coli strain which relies upon mycobacterial sirA, fprA and fdxA genes to survive in M9 minimal media
  • Demonstrated that E. coli can survive with mycobacterial sulfite reduction pathway with Flux Balance Analysis
  • Located drug target sites on sirA as well as identified high structural similarity between cysI and sirA through structural anaylsis

Aims

To perform an drug screen targeted at the sirA gene from mycobacteria
