TEACHING

BISC 2215 GENOME EDITING LAB

1 Credit. Maximum Enrollment : 12-16 students

DESCRIPTION
Practical training in genome editing in, from sequence design to molecular biology, generation of edited animals, and phenotypic analysis. Each student is assigned a personal research project involving CRISPR, a technique that is changing the landscape of biological research and medicine. Meets once a week for 3-4 hours. Requires BISC 1111, BISC 1112, prior or concurrent enrollment in BISC 2214, or permission of instructor.

LEARNING GOALS
Students will:
  • Learn about the possibilities and strategies offered by CRISPR genome editing.
  • Develop basic molecular laboratory skills used in academic and clinical laboratories as well as in the biotechnology industry.
  • Acquire expertise in microscopy and micro-manipulation that are seldom taught in a university setting.
  • Design and perform their own genome editing experiment, from the targeted DNA sequence to the analysis and confirmation of genetic modification.
  • Be encouraged to present their results in a poster, conference or co-authored publication.
  • Be exposed to the bio-ethical challenges raised by genome editing in the 21st century.
