“CRISPR genome editing” Precise gene regulation/modification using the simple CRISPR/Cas9 system Thank you. Nucleeases will be used as a new tool that may revolutionize how we study genes. Story of growing up on the farm. Scientific discovory can be limited be the tools available. Next few slides are a history of the DNA discoveries and tools used to manipulate DNA Jason Kerkvliet, M.S. Research Associate II Hoppe lab March 4, 2014
Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 system
DNA repair mechanisms: gene editing efficiency is enhanced by creating breaks in DNA
How does one use CRISPR? For NHEJ CRISPR vector $65 4 (2 sgRNA sequences) oligos $40 BbsI $70 Total = $175
How does one use CRISPR? For HDR
