Using CRISPR/Cas9 to Understand Transcription  and Control Gene Expression

Wednesday, October 8, 2014 1 PM EDT / 10 AM PDT / 6 PM BST   CRISPR/Cas9 presents a new way for researchers to explore how gene expression is controlled and regulated in cells.   Although we know much about this process, recent discoveries (new RNAs, alternative splicing events) make it clear that there is much more to be learned about how genomes encode biological information.   This webinar features:   • The latest advances in CRISPR/Cas9 technology and how these advances are being applied in clever and creative ways to explore genome function   • A discussion of best practices for CRISPR/Cas9 targeting and design   • The latest application of CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) for the sequence-specific control of gene expression   • A live question and answer session       Registration Open Now:   www.biotechniques.com/CRISPR Speakers: Timothy K Lu Dept. of Biological Engineering, MIT Evan Whitehead Dept. of Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology, UCSF Center for Systems and Synthetic Biology Moderator: Patrick C.H. Lo, Ph.D. Senior Editor, BioTechniques Sponsored by:
