| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is DNA sequencing? | The process of determining the order of nucleotides in DNA |
| What are the 2 methods of DNA sequencing? | 1) Sanger method (based on DNA replication where copied fragments end with a chain terminating dNTP) 2) Automated method (continuous gel reafs fragments as they're made) |
| What does Sanger method produce? | Nested fragments |
| What is CRISPR | Genome editing tool. Allows the modification of genes inside live cells |
| Describe the CRISPR system | 1) Cas9 enzyme unwinds and cuts DNA 2) Guide RNA (gRNA) brings the Cas9 to the target DNA. gRNA is synthesized by man to anneal with the bad region of a target gene |
