Base editing is a next-generation CRISPR technology that allows researchers to make precise base changes without creating double-stranded breaks in the genome. This makes base editing an attractive CRISPR technology for researchers and therapeutic developers interested in creating single-base edits while avoiding the safety and cell health impacts of traditional CRISPR genome editing approaches.
In this webinar, we’ll provide actionable recommendations for getting started with base editing in your experimental system. You’ll learn how popular cytosine and adenine base editors create base edits, emphasizing how these mechanisms inform base editing experimental design. Additionally, we’ll provide guidance and recommendations for RNA design and genotyping analysis.
What you’ll learn:
- The molecular mechanisms behind base editing technologies
- Considerations and tools for gRNA design
- Analytical tools for genotyping base edits
