Module 2

Lecturer: Noreen Lyell
Instructors: Noreen Lyell, Leslie McClain and Maxine Jonas

TA:
Lab manager: Hsinhwa Lee

Overview

In this module you will use a modified Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) system to modulate transcription in E. coli. Specifically, you will use a CRISPR-based interference system to target a gene within the fermentation pathway of E. coli such that either ethanol or lactate production is increased.
