== Description of Project == | |||
Routine cloning and manipulation of harmless eukaryotic sequences in disabled E. coli K12 strains using non-mobilisable and/or mobilisation-defective vectors, with no intention to express gene products. | |||
== Location of Work == | |||
The GM activity with take place in the London Hackspace biolab at 447 Hackney Road, London, E2 9DY | |||
The laboratory work will be done at CL-1 | |||
There will be no animal work | |||

== Description of the project, including the methods to be used and the purpose of the genetic modification == | |||
This is a generic risk assessment for cloning harmless sequences from any eukaryotic organism into disabled E. coli K12 hosts for the purpose of facilitating molecular biology procedures such as (i) sub-cloning, DNA sequencing, or site-directed mutagenesis; (ii) construction of fusions with harmless reporter genes such as GFP; (iii) construction of recombinant plasmids for subsequent transfection of eukaryotic cell lines; (iv) construction of recombinant plasmids for subsequent transfection of defined packaging cell lines for the purpose of producing disabled recombinant viral vectors. [Note: in examples (iii) and (iv), the subsequent transfection experiments will need to be covered by separate, specific risk assessments]. | |||
This risk assessment specifically excludes cloning sequences that are known or suspected to: | |||
(i) be oncogenic; | |||
or (ii) encode either a toxin or an allergen; | |||
or (iii) encode a product that could have detrimental effect if delivered to a target tissue. | |||
[Note: cloning any of the above types of excluded sequences will need to be covered by non-generic, specific risk assessments.]. |
