CRISPR/CAS9 Delivery Webinar 4-18-17

Allison Mayle, PhD. Gerstner Sloan-Kettering Teaching Fellow, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center presents this webinar.  
The webinar covers best practices for increasing CRISPR/Cas9 editing efficiency. Viewers will learn discover online tools to aid in CRISPR/Cas9 design and delivery, and tips for optimizing your CRISPR/Cas9 experiments.

Dr. Mayle will review the factors influencing genome editing, including target sequence selection and CRISPR/Cas9 delivery methods. A comparison of plasmid and viral vector delivery will be provided, as well as an introduction to DNA-free CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoprotein reagents. Additionally, Dr. Mayle will cover best practices for CRISPR knock-in mutagenesis via homology-directed repair (HDR) and applications available from new Cas9 protein variants.

The webinar is free but registration is required HERE by the hosts GenScript.

BABEC Kickoff 2016 on video

For those who were not able to attend BABEC Kickoff 2016, here are videos of the speakers.  Thanks to BABEC (the acronym means Bay Area Biotechnology Education Consortium) and to the videographer, Daniel Michael of Biolink Depot, a man of many talents. Daniel also conducted the interview with biohacker Mary Ward, for this blog.
