Depositor Comments

The Author's Map is a representative Brainbow 1.0 construct. The actual fluorescent genes are as indicated in the Gene/insert name.

Thy1 promoter. To linearize plasmid and remove vector sequences, EcoRI + PvuI , or alternatively NotI + PvuI are used (Note that PvuI also cuts inside the pUC18 vector).
