Simulate the use of CRISPR-Cas9 to target a genetic mutation found in a patient suffering from Cystic Fibrosis.
Develop an understanding of guide RNA (gRNA) design.
Use agarose gel electrophoresis to examine pre-prepared DNA samples after CRISPR treatment.
Understand the basic biology behind CRISPR technology and explain it's biological basis
Description
In this experiment, students will simulate the use of CRISPR-Cas9 to target a genetic mutation found in a patient suffering from Cystic Fibrosis. Students will develop an understanding of guide RNA (gRNA) design, and use agarose gel electrophoresis to examine pre-prepared DNA samples after CRISPR treatment.
