Crispr cas9 ppt (1)
CRISPR-Cas9 is a family of DNA sequences in bacteria that contain snippets of DNA from viruses that have attacked the bacterium. These snippets are used by the bacterium to detect and destroy DNA from further attacks by similar viruses. Cas9 is an RNA-guided DNA endonuclease enzyme that is associated with CRISPR and plays a role in the adaptive immunity system in bacteria, allowing it to cut viral or foreign DNA. The CRISPR-Cas9 system can be directed to cut DNA at specific locations by specifying the RNA component. This enables applications such as gene editing, gene regulation, and genome engineering.
How CRISPR–Cas9 Screening will revolutionise your drug development programs
CRISPR–Cas9 mediated genome editing provides a novel and highly efficient way to probe gene function. Using this technology, thousands of genes can be knocked out and their function assessed in a single experiment. This makes CRISPR–Cas9 screening a powerful tool for drug target ID and validation, understanding drug mechanisms of action and patient stratification.
In this webinar, we use our experience with CRISPR–Cas9 to discuss the power and applicability of CRISPR-Cas9 screening technologies. We focus on how to use this technology to address important biological questions, and consider what’s possible, what’s plausible and what constitutes a ‘hit’. We also highlight Horizon’s latest developments to the CRISPR-Cas9 screening platform.
Crispr cas9
CRISPR-Cas9 is a genome editing technique that allows DNA to be precisely cut and modified. It involves using the Cas9 enzyme, guided by RNA, to cut DNA at a specific target location. The cell's DNA repair machinery can then introduce changes by adding, removing, or replacing DNA segments. CRISPR-Cas9 was adapted from a natural defense system in bacteria against viruses. It holds promise for treating genetic diseases but also raises ethical concerns about editing human embryos or germline cells.
crispr cas9 knockout
CRISPR/Cas9 system consists of a “guide” RNA (gRNA) and a bacterial CRISPR-associated endonuclease (Cas9). The gRNA is a short synthetic RNA composed of a Cas9-binding “scaffold” sequence and ∼20 nucleotide “targeting” sequence that defines the target genomic site to be modified.

Genome editing with engineered nucleases
Genome editing uses engineered nucleases to insert, replace or remove DNA from the genome. These nucleases create targeted double-strand breaks which are repaired through natural DNA repair processes, allowing for changes to the genome sequence. Three main engineered nuclease systems for genome editing are ZFNs, TALENs, and CRISPR-Cas9. CRISPR uses a guide RNA and Cas9 nuclease to make precise cuts at targeted DNA sequences for editing. It has advantages over ZFNs and TALENs in being cheaper, easier to design, and more efficient. Genome editing holds promise for applications in crops, medicine, and research.

Rice is the most important staple food for over half the world's population. It is the second largest grain crop produced worldwide after maize. China and India collectively account for over half of global rice production. There are two domesticated species of rice - Oryza sativa, Asian rice, and Oryza glaberrima, African rice. Golden rice was genetically engineered to produce beta-carotene in the endosperm by introducing genes for enzymes in the biosynthetic pathway to help address vitamin A deficiency.
