- BioBrick Number: [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K076017 BBa_K076017]
Ngn1
- Description: This is a transcription factor that promotes the differentiation of embryonic stem cells into neuronal precursors.
- BioBrick Number: [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K076002 BBa_K076002]
Mash1
- Description: This gene is a cell fate regulator that promotes the differentiation of embryonic stem cells into neuronal precursors.
- BioBrick Number: [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K076014 BBa_K076014]
Linker
- Description: This short sequence connects the Ngn1 and EYFP gene products, providing a translational fusion. This enables us to detect the location of Ngn1 by tracking the appearance of fluorescent yellow protein within the cell.
- BioBrick Number: [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K076003 BBa_K076003]
2A linker
- Description: This is a protein linker sequence that allows one reporter protein, in our case EYFP, to be linked to another, in our case mKate, under certain conditions and cleaved under certain other conditions.
