Lecture-7 Genome editing CRISPR Huseyin Tombuloglu, Phd GBE423 Genomics & Proteomics
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins CRISPR/Cas9 System
What is it? derived from a natural process found in bacteria to protect themselves from pathogens targets genes for editing and regulating comparable to Photoshop Horizon Licenses Harvard University Gene-Editing Technology. (2013). Drug Discovery & Development.
To initiate gene modification, sgRNA (single guide RNA) Cas9 complex Cas9 nuclease
Protospacer Adjacent Motif (PAM) Target Sequence Gene of Interest
Non-Homologous End Joining (NHEJ) DNA repair pathway Stop Codon
Summation: crispr/Cas system sgRNA/Cas9 complex binds to gene Cas breaks gene (double strand breaks) Induced mutation in gene sequence altered gene sequence dysfunctional CAD gene
