The trap-RNA system can target any gene

The trap-RNA system provides unique flexibility for controlling and tuning gene expression. The specificity of the system depends on base pair complementarity. Therefore it can be designed to target any gene of interest by simply altering the sequences to match the vicinity of any Shine-Dalgarno sequence. Furthermore multiple trap-RNA systems can applied to the same biological circuit without interfering. Implementing sRNA and the trap-RNA into biological they can be introduced by constitutive promoters, inducible promoters or even as transcriptional fusions to genes of interest.
