  1. C.R.I.S.P.R. James Matt Johnson

  2. Bacterial Innate Immune System (a review..) • Restriction enzymes • Enzymes with endonuclease activity that cut at very specific sequences. • Sequences are hard-wired • Extracellular substances to block bacteriophage • Substances on surface of cell that block infection • Abortive Infection • Bacteria cell self-destructs to prevent phage growth and spread

  3. So…. what is CRISPR? • Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats • Commonly referred to as CRISPR-Cas9 • Ultimately, CRISPR is a way for bacteria to adapt and defend itself against bacteriophage • Analogous to human adaptive immunity (ONLY KIND OF!!)

  4. A very Brief History…

  5. Design of CRISPR-Cas9 system Key Terms: • Protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) sequence • tracrRNA • crRNA • Cas http://symposcium.com/2014/03/qa-what-is-crispr-technology/

  9. Genome Editing

  10. Applications Vector-born Illnesses

  11. Applications cont’d… Hereditary Illnesses

  12. Applications cont’d… Other Diseases/Illness

  13. What about snails??

  14. No.

  15. Limitations of CRISPR-Cas9 • Human immune system • Embryonic editing and expression events • Gene sequence specificity issues • PAM Sequence requisite
