Depositor Comments

Blasticidin gene was amplified from lentiCas9-Blast using primers F: TCTCCCCAGCAATTCACCatggccaagcctttgtctc, R: CAAGTGAGGAGAGAACCTCTACCTTCttagccctcccacacataacc. The PCR product was gel-purified and used to perform CPEC cloning on pCW-Cas9, as described in 21293463.

Because a previous version of this plasmid contained a STOP codon between the blasticidin resistance gene and rtTA, this stop codon was subsequently removed. The following primers were used to confirm removal of the STOP codon:
Forward primer: GTGTTCCGCATTCTGCAAG
Reverse primer: ACGTGCCAGTACAGGGTAGG
