PBLAM1-x: standardized transposon tools for high-throughput screening.

ABSTRACT: The engineering of pre-defined functions in living cells requires increasingly accurate tools as synthetic biology efforts become more ambitious. Moreover, the characterization of the phenotypic performance of genetic constructs demands meticulous measurements and extensive data acquisition for the sake of feeding mathematical models and matching predictions along the design-build-test lifecycle. Here, we developed a genetic tool that eases high-throughput transposon insertion sequencing (TnSeq): the pBLAM1-x plasmid vectors carrying the Himar1 Mariner transposase system. These plasmids were derived from the mini-Tn5 transposon vector pBAMD1-2 and built following modular criteria of the Standard European Vector Architecture (SEVA) format. To showcase their function, we analyzed sequencing
