Based on the published researches about CRISPR system and tandem promoters, we are trying to explore multi-stage regulation through the combination of them.

We got the plasmid containing dCas9 gene from Doudna Lab freely of Addgene.

We successfully express the dead Cas9(dCas9) BBa_k1081000 in standard backbone pSB1C3 and pSB1A2 in E.coli strain k12 and fused the dCas9 with omega subunit of RNA polymease.

Then we donated functional dCas9 Bio-Brick (BBa_k1081000) to BGI (Beijing genomics institution) 2013 iGEM team.

We constructed seven tandem double promoters BBa_k1081002, BBa_k1081003, BBa_k1081004, BBa_k1081005, BBa_k1081006, BBa_k1081007 and BBa_k1081008.

We constructed 7 guide RNA coding sequences and got them sequencced right.

We proved the feasibility of multiple modulation.
