$1,390.00

ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:

Explore cutting-edge biotechnology with this hands-on CRISPR-Cas9 simulation. Students will assume the role of plant geneticists working to develop corn crops capable of surviving, and thriving, in a changing environment. This experiment will allow students to develop an understanding of CRISPR-Cas9 applications in the laboratory, cleave DNA, and examine their results after gel electrophoresis.

• Hands-On Crispr Cas 9 Simulation
• Explore this cutting edge technology with minimal equipment and class time requirements
• Create four guide RNAs (gRNAs), then use BLAST to verify and evaluate their specificity
• Test all four gRNAs plus control and analyze results using gel electrophoresis
