M13K07 Genome Re-engineering ideas:

Gene	Ideas
I	Change size of protein to see effect of different channel sizes.
II	Increase or decrease expression to optimize rate of + strand replication.
III	Myc tag to monitor expression in phage and bacteria or to add other things to test initial interaction with host.
IV	Change size of protein to see effect of different channel sizes.
V	Add more DNA binding sites to see if more DNA can be packaged into phage.
VI	Myc tag to monitor expression in phage and bacteria or to add other things to test initial interaction with host.
VII	Tag protein to monitor interaction with p5/DNA complex.
VIII	Change size of protein to experiment with the size of coat.
IX	Tag protein to monitor interaction with p5/DNA complex.
X	Increase expression to see if more phage leave the host E. coli.
XI	Change size of protein to see effect of different channel sizes.

M13 Refactoring

Overlapping Areas	Original Sequence	Modified sequence
Gene 2 ORF and Gene 10 RBS
Gene 10 ORF and Gene 5 RBS
Gene 5 ORF and Gene 7 RBS
Gene 5 ORF and Gene 9 RBS
Gene 9 ORF and Gene 8 RBS
