==Synthesis of the Therapeutic DNA==
+
-
In this part, we aims at constructing a molecular cloning vector with a cos site which enables it to be packaged into the gene therapy vector- in other words, to construct a cosmid. In order to detect the expression of the therapeutic DNA, we construct this cosmid based on the scanfold of Parts-J61031 encoding a RFP-expressing segment.
+
-
This cosmid mainly consists of the following segments:

Based on our basic idea and decoupling principle of synthetic biology, we subdivided our project into three interconnected modules: 1) Synthesis of the GenSniper virion which involves the synthesis of the GenSniper genome and the production of the viroin; 2) Constructing the Therapeutic DNA which can be packaged into the GenSniper virion; 3) Construction and characterization of the targeted BioBrick that is responsible for targeted gene delivery. The following wetlab work will demonstrate the synthesis of the GenSniper via the three modules respectively as well as how they work together.

-
In the bottom-up approach, we amplify the biobricks from both the bacteriophage lambda and the adenovirus genome and incorporate them with a given order into molecular cloning vector(s).

+
-
Specifically, we choose two molecular cloning vectors to encode two sections of the gene therapy vector genome, pET28a and pACYCDuet1.

Secondly, another of DNA sequence is inserted into the plasmid, which can recognize and bind to the lambda repressor with specificity.

Thirdly, we can add another report gene, RFP sequence into the plasmid, and see whether it can be expressed. If everything goes all right, we can put the whole system in a eukaryotic cell.

Three modules in our project

Based on our basic idea and decoupling principle of synthetic biology, we subdivided our project into three interconnected modules: 1) Synthesis of the GenSniper virion which involves the synthesis of the GenSniper genome and the production of the viroin; 2) Constructing the Therapeutic DNA which can be packaged into the GenSniper virion; 3) Construction and characterization of the targeted BioBrick that is responsible for targeted gene delivery. The following wetlab work will demonstrate the synthesis of the GenSniper via the three modules respectively as well as how they work together.
