CRISPR /Cas has the ability to make specific changes at targeted genomic sites and has transformed research in biology and medicine, due to its precision, ease of use, and relatively low cost. CRISPR’s many applications include gene knock out, gene tagging, correction of genetic defects, and gene activation. In this webinar, we discuss how this powerful molecular biology tool works and how to use CRISPR technology for efficient genome editing in an organism.

Attendees will learn:

– CRISPR/Cas background and CRISPR components design considerations
– An example of workflow of gene editing with CRISPR/Cas in microorganism
– The current impact of CRISR/Cas in biology and medicine
