M13.1 Section Design
Most of the modifications I made to this section involved removing the overlaps between the gene sections when possible. I did this by first copying the overlapping sequence. I then changed some of the bases at the wobble positions in the open reading frame sections that I duplicated, I made sure that the codon still codes for the same base, this way we can safeguard against recombination. My contribution to the M13 refactoring is the idea of adding another copy of gene 8. Im hoping that both copies are expressed on the cell surface. If this is the case we can modify each copy of the gene independently and make them attract different kinds of materials. This way we can get two different types of material on a single phage.
