Understand how CRISPR interacts with DNA using this innovative, educational gene-editing activity.
- Safe, cell-free reactions
- Adaptable to full curriculum
The CRISPR-In-A-Box™ Kit utilizes revolutionary CRISPR-Cas technology through an innovative educational activity that expands the understanding of this powerful genetic tool. The hands-on process introduces students to invaluable genomic engineering techniques that can impact future therapy in drug discovery and diagnostics. The kit was specifically designed to show the entire spectrum of gene editing products that occur in a CRISPR/Cas reaction. And unlike its competitors, the basis of the laboratory exercise is done on a plasmid instead of a functional gene in bacteria, generating a much safer reaction. Including prep, the complete lab will take approximately 3 days to 1 week to complete.
