How to distinguish the different biobricks in a biobrick-pool in experiment?
To take a DNA sequencing?---it's costly and time-consuming.
We are faced with such a problem to determine the final outputs of E.ADEM. An inspiration came from the supermarket checkout system where thousands of commodities are tagged by barcodes. This universal commercial ID both shortens the check-out time and adds the accuracy. By comparing our problem with this system, what we need to do can be concluded as to design barcodes for biobricks, BioBrick-Barcode,as we call it.
Where is the scanner?
PCR, which is so conveniently conducted, can serve as the scanner while the primers it needs are the analogue of barcode sequences.
To check the final outputs in the system of E.ADEM, we altered an open-resource primer-design software to design a set of DNA oligo-sequences as the barcode to go through the scanner of PCR.
