Description
A 30bp DNA spacer sequence. Used to prevent ribosome collision in bicistronic constructs.
Notes
It is unclear whether spacer sequences are truly necessary to separate two genes, nor is it clear how long such a sequence would need to be.
Source
Derived from the lambda phage genome. The 30 bp correspond to a portion of the untranslated region of the late transcript, between genes Q and S.
