2017 CRISPR Workshop: Practical Aspects of Precision Biology

This 1-week workshop focused on applications of CRISPR technology as a platform for genome editing and functional genomics. The program included lectures from experts in the field and a hands-on laboratory experience demonstrating targeted mutagenesis in cultured human cells. On this page, you can browse recorded videos of the faculty lectures and read through the lab syllabus, which includes easy-to-follow protocols.
