Set your students up for successful CRISPR investigations by first exploring how bacteria seek and destroy viral invaders.
⚠ Warning
Description
An effective search-and-destroy CRISPR system in bacteria inspired innovation in genetic technology. Your classroom can become a design solutions lab as students discover the role of the Cas9 protein in defending against bacteriophages. With engaging foam pieces and chenille bacteriaphage genomes, your students can:
- Build the bacteria’s CRISPR array which includes Cas9, a tracr, spacer, and repeats
- Detect the presence of viral double-stranded DNA
- Integrate a short fragment of this viral genome into the bacteria’s CRISPR array
- Express the CRISPR array to create the Cas9 proteins and the guide RNA
