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 acetate production is increased.

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 acetate production is increased.
