The course requires basic computer competency, fundamental knowledge of molecular biology and bioinformatics and practical skills in microbiology, biochemistry and molecular biology as, for example, manipulation with automatic pipettes, preparation of buffers and cultivation media, sterile liquide and bacterial cultures handling, centrifugation, and so on.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.
fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
there are 6 fields of study the course is directly associated with, display
Course objectives
The aim of this course is to prepare and realize a project for silencing target gene expression using CRISPR/Cas9 a shRNA methodology.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to to identify CRISPR/Cas9 and siRNA targets in sequence of gene of interest using public bioinformatic tools, to create and purify recombinant CRISPR/Cas9 and shRNA vectors, to transfect these vectors into mammalian cells, to analyze mutational status of target gene and to evaluate gene expression. Students will be ale to use the acquired knowledge to prepare and to implement a project analyzing the function of selected genes in diverse biological processes.

At the end of the course students should be able to perform these experiments independently and to applied in correct way to address specific biological phenomena.
Syllabus
  • 1. Inoculation and cultivation of bacterial cells having appropriate plasmids. 2. Isolation of plasmid DNA from bacterial cells using Qiagen columns. 3. Restriction analysis of plasmid DNA and modification of 5´ overhang termini using DNA polymerase. 4. Agarose electrophoresis of fragmented DNA. 5. Elution of appropriate fragments from a gel. 6. Ligation of appropriate DNA molecules. 7. Transformation of competent bacterial cells with ligation mixture. 8. Selection of transformants. 9. Screening of transformants for the presence of recombinant plasmid (plasmid minipreparation, restriction analysis, electrophoresis). 10. Recombinant plasmid transfection into mammlian cells. 11. Cell lysis, protein electrophoresis and immunoblotting.
