Simulated CRISPR to treat Cystic Fibrosis

模擬CRISPR技術 — 治療囊性纖維化

Learn about the concept and applications of CRISPR, and how it can be used to treat genetic diseases. CRISPR is an RNA-guided targeted genome editing tool. Students will learn the process of designing a guide RNA to be used in CRISPR to treat a cystic fibrosis patient. Later, they will use micropipettes to deliver the samples into an agarose gel, and run the gel electrophoresis to find out suitable gRNA for treatment.

學習CRISPR技術的概念與應用,以及如何運用該技術來治療遺傳疾病。CRISPR 是一種 RNA 引導的靶向基因編輯工具。學生會學習如何設計合適的嚮導RNA,以用於CRISPR技術中來治療囊性纖維化病人。隨後用微量移液管將模擬DNA樣本加入瓊脂凝膠中,再通過電泳篩選合適的嚮導RNA。
