Description
Advanced—For experienced high school and college classes; requires some technical skill.
An AUTHENTIC gene editing experience available only from Carolina
Discover CRISPR technology the way it was meant to be with this truly unique, hands-on CRISPR gene editing kit. As your students explore Nobel Prize-winning technology, they walk in the footsteps of science pioneers and use the same techniques that scientists across the world have used to solve the global problems of tomorrow.
Designed to be safe and approachable with a unique in vitro gene editing system, the kit activities break down each portion of the gene editing reaction into fundamental steps, offering teachable moments along the way. Students will:
- Understand how CRISPR interacts with DNA
- Carry out gene editing reactions in a cell-free environment
- Visualize all gene editing products from a single reaction
- Develop a fundamental understanding of the degree of mutagenesis and precise or error-prone gene editing outcomes
- Explore the effects of different repair pathways acting simultaneously (HDR, NHEJ, MMEJ, etc.)
- Study gene knockout and knock-in strategies in one reaction
Product Features
- Includes perishable materials for immediate use
- Kit materials are sufficient for 10 reactions or student groups
- Detailed teacher guide features background information, experimental overview, and support for teachers new to CRISPR reactions
- Voted a Best of STEM 2023 Award finalist
