Depositor Comments

ZKSCAN1 intron 1 (partial) & ZKSCAN1 intron 3 (partial) separated by a pair of BsmBI restriction sites. 5' Cloning Site: EcoRI (not destroyed), 3' Cloning Site: XhoI (not destroyed). The mc2 and pF mc2 series of plasmids were designed and created by Dr Brett Stringer in the laboratory of Prof Simon Conn. They are based on the original circRNA mini vector design of Liang & Wilusz, 2014. The pair of BsmBI restriction sites is the cloning site for DNA specifying the RNA sequence to be circularised. For cloning cDNA, the 5' restriction site should be either NheI, BmtI, AflII, HindIII, Acc65I, KpnI, Eco53kI, SacI, BamHI, SpeI, BstXI or EcoRI and the 3' restriction site should be either XhoI, PspXI, XbaI, EcoO109I, PspOMI or ApaI. The CMV enhancer/promoter of Addgene plasmid ID 60648 also was replaced with the EF1a promoter from Addgene plasmid ID 98290.
