Bird of Prey (BoP)

BoP is designed to simplify the construction of standardized DNA vectors, from simple single-gene constructs to complex multi-effector, multi-target, and multigenic systems.

Built on a system of modular DNA elements found on our Clonecards and Tabs, BoP allows researchers to easily swap or combine components of a gene—such as promoters and effectors—to create tailored constructs for their specific research needs via. subcloning events.

Key Features

Efficiency

Streamlines the complex process of vector assembly, reducing time from design to functional construct.

Flexibility

Suitable for single-gene vectors to multigenic constructs, tailoring experiments to researcher needs.

Precision

Standardized system reduces the risk of error in gene assembly, ensuring more consistent results.

Standardized

Consistent ligation protocol for all BoP genes, simplifying the assembly process.

Modular

Easily combine multiple Transcription Units and effectors for nuanced designs.

Testing Oriented

Standardization and modularity facilitate replicable experiments that can be quickly tested and redesigned.
