  Secondary | Technology | Views: 460

CRISPR is a family of DNA sequences found in the genomes of prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria and archaea. These sequences are derived from DNA fragments of bacteriophages that had previously infected the prokaryote. They are used to detect and destroy DNA from similar bacteriophages during subsequent infections.

During the talk you will hear from STEM Ambassador James.

He will talk you through:

  • What is CRISPR-Cas9?
  • How does CRISPR-Cas9 work?
  • Current and Future uses of CRISPR-Cas9
  • What does the future hold?

If you do have any questions after listening to the talk please use askanambassador@canterbury.ac.uk where we can send your questions to STEM Ambassador James to answer for you.
