Course: Gene-editing technologies
Are you new to working with gene-editing? We will teach you how! We offer a new course containing in depth information about gene editing design, execution and delivery.
The aim of this 5-day course is to get a better theoretical and practical understanding of gene-editing, from experimental design to edit evaluation and post-edit quality controls.
Target group: Anyone (from TAs and PhDs to PIs) who is new to working with gene-editing.
Please note that this course is not yet available to for inclusion in LAKOK, so no credits, only a certificate, will be awarded. Please note that even though persons from all universities are welcome to apply, local applicants are prioritised.
Course Content
Focus lectures
- How to design SNP and small edits, KOs, larger insertions and deletions
- How to peform the edit - components, delivery, (eg. RNP vs plasmid, electroporation vs lipofection vs virus)
