Gen knock-in and knock-out This subpage constitutes the second part of the theory for Biotech Academy’s material on CRISPR-Cas9. The molecular changes in the DNA sequences of genes have a direct impact on the function of the genes. You can both remove gene functionality, by gene knock-outs, and add new features to a gene, by
CRISPR/Cas9 – The genetic engineering revolution Summary: CRISPR technology comes from the immune system of prokaryotes, where it acts as protection against viral attacks, for example. CRISPR is an abbreviation of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, which describes the genomic structure of the prokaryotic immune system. CRISPR associated (Cas) proteins are the functional units
What is genetic engineering? Summary: Genetic engineering is used in research to study diseases, microbiology or the development of cell factories, among other things. Cell factories are cells that produce large quantities of valuable products, such as medicines. In this material you will learn how to design your own cell factory with genetic engineering,
