M13 phage re-engineering ideas:

Gene	Ideas
I
II	modify such that it not only nicks the double stranded form of the genome to initiate replication of the + strand, but also nicks the - strand to impede the formation of dsDNA (this would also add p5)
III	Add myc or other tag to monitor how it affects time delay/progression of phage escape from host
IV
V	Modify such that it is able to sequester the positive stranded DNA more effectively, thus reducing the competition with dsDNA formation
VI	As an accessory protein to p3, modify such that p3 is more effective in its interaction with TolA protein
VII	Modify in such a way to allow for phage secretion speed to increase so the phage-host interaction time is decreased.
VIII	Add myc or alternative tag to possibly aid in targeting various qualities of host
IX	Same principle as gene VII except that care must be taken with this modification because it overlaps with gene 8.
