LIFS 3901 Case Study on Biomedical and Health Sciences IIA – Generation of Disease Models by Genome Editing
Description:
This laboratory course will build on the wet lab skills that students learned in LIFS 2901. Here, working in teams, students will introduce a mutation found in a human genetic disease into the model organism, Caenorhabditis elegans. Emphasis will be put on the planning and execution of experiments and troubleshooting. Students are expected to learn recombinant DNA technologies, including CRISPR-Cas9, to generate their mutant C. elegans strain. For BMH students only.
