Module 2
Lecturer: Noreen Lyell
Instructors: Noreen Lyell, Leslie McClain and Josephine Bagnall
TA: Eric Lehnhardt
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.
