CRISPR-Cas9: programmable molecular scissors
How this session lines up with the PLTW curriculum and the WebXam for each class it touches, including the vocabulary, concepts, and skills you share.
The classes below may be taught in different terms. This research track runs all year with HOSA, so a connection means the ideas line up, not that the class meets this week.
GenD covers gene therapy and the molecular tools behind it.
072130 Genetics of Disease
Domain: Bio-Molecular Technology
CRISPR is the gene-therapy tool GenD's screening-and-therapy unit points toward.
- mutation mirrors: Mutations and their effects
- gene mirrors: Genes code for proteins
PBS closes on innovation and previews emerging biotechnology.
072110 Principles and Practice of Biomedical Technology
Domain: Biotechnology Research and Experiments
PBS ends on innovation; CRISPR is a flagship example to preview.
BI's biotechnology work includes modern editing methods.
072125 Biotechnology for Health and Disease
Domain: Bio-Molecular Technology
CRISPR's workflow is the kind of biotechnology BI builds on.
