Learning objectives
Basic knowledge of the mechanism of genome editing, understanding of the CRISPR/Cas9 system and evolution Perspectives and applications in living systems
Prerequisites and basic notions
Genetics and molecular biology background
Program
This course will introduce students to CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing technology, starting with its molecular mechanism, including the roles of guide RNA and Cas9 in gene targeting and DNA cleavage. Students will explore key advancements, such as base editing, which enables precise nucleotide changes, and prime editing, which allows targeted modifications without inducing double-strand breaks. The program will also cover alternative CRISPR systems like Cas12 (DNA editing) and Cas13 (RNA editing), and their applications.
