BBF RFC 21: BglBricks Assembly Standard

The BglBricks standard has been developed as an alternative to the original XbaI/SpeI standard primarily to provide a solution to the issue of generating translational-fusion parts. When joined together in a standard assembly reaction, BglBricks parts contain a scar sequence of GGATCT between the two parts. This sequence conveniently translates as Gly-Ser in the zero frame, a commonly-used linker in protein engineering. BglBricks has previously been called the “BglBrick” standard, and is also referred to as Assembly standard 21. A consolidated description of the standard is available at: http://openwetware.org/wiki/Template:AndersonLab:BglBrick_Standard
