IMPROVE YOUR CRISPR-Cas9 GENOME EDITING EXPERIMENTS

During this presentation you will learn about:

• Current strategies for CRISPR-Cas9 mediated genome editing with emphasis on commonly used methods for delivery of RNA triggers and Cas9 protein.
• Considerations for the design of guide RNAs and donor templates intended for homology-directed repair.
• Common errors that can occur during the CRISPR workflow and how to avoid them.

Alt-R™ CRISPR-Cas9 System

What our customers say

“After trying a variety of solutions, the IDT Alt-R CRISPR-Cas9 System was the most user friendly, and it generated superior results in our assays.”

—Large pharmaceutical customer

“The IDT modified crRNAs (Alt-R CRISPR-Cas9 System) work well in our assay and can generate fully penetrant phenotypes in transfected mammalian cells. They have allowed us to rapidly validate hits from pooled sgRNA screens without the need to construct expression plasmids or to generate lentivirus.”
