    Description
    This advanced course provides skills in the performance of the revolutionary genome editing technique CRISPR-Cas9. Instruction focuses on a deep understanding of this powerful and popular gene-editing technique to better appreciate the promise, risks, and ethics behind its many applications. Laboratory activities develop skills related to the setup, performance, and evaluation of the technique's outcome. The course assumes some prior knowledge of solution preparation and aseptic streak-plating of bacterial cultures.
