This laboratory course introduces students to CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing techniques. Students will design guide RNAs, perform transfection experiments, and validate gene edits through sequencing and phenotypic assays. Graduate students will additionally design and defend CRISPR protocols in the context of experimental errors, ethics, and translational applications. Prereq: MICR 467 and MICR 473. Dual-listing: MICR 669.
