We are currently experiencing a biotechnology revolution. Advances in genomics, spearheaded by CRISPR-Cas9 technology, have greatly accelerated genome engineering research. As CRISPR is opening the door for an increasing number of applications each day, more and more researchers are adopting this technique for their studies.
As with every new technology, the path to CRISPR expertise can be blocked by confusing, and sometimes intimidating, jargon. Don’t let that discourage you! We are committed to making CRISPR accessible to all. This includes providing educational resources – your personalized CRISPR dictionary, so to speak – to simplify all the relevant concepts for you. In this article, we discuss a common and important concept: single guide RNA (sgRNA)…
