What are the steps involved in the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing process?
• Design guide RNA, deliver CRISPR-Cas9 to cells, cut DNA, repair DNA with
desired changes.
What are gene drives and how are they used in plants?
• Gene drives ensure a genetic trait spreads rapidly through a population,
used for controlling pests.
What are plasmids and how are they used in gene cloning?
• Plasmids are circular DNA molecules used as vectors to carry and replicate
cloned genes.
What is the role of ATP in the ligation process? - ATP provides the energy
needed for DNA ligase to form phosphodiester bonds.
Types of PCR
What is PCR?
• PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a technique used to amplify specific DNA
sequences.
cDNA Synthesis
What is cDNA?
• cDNA, or complementary DNA, is synthesized from an RNA template using the
enzyme reverse transcriptase.
Expression Analysis
What is RNA-Seq?
• RNA-Seq is a high-throughput sequencing method used to analyze the entire
transcriptome, providing detailed information on gene expression.
