Resource Information

Depositor Comments

The plasmids in this library each represent a target site for Cas13a that has 6 randomized bases on the 3' end to survey for protospacer flanking site (PFS) motifs that promote binding and cutting activity by Cas13a. The target site with random bases is inserted at the 5' end of the beta lactamase transcript so that when the transcript is cleaved by Cas13a, resistance to Ampicillin is lost and the bacteria that are transformed with these constructs will die. The plasmids in the surviving population can then be sequenced and the PFS motifs that promote cleavage can be inferred from the depleted sequences.

The protospacers contained in the library represent all 4096 (46) combinations of 6 nucleotides.
