- DNA modification by gene targeting relies on homologous recombination to remove endogenous sequences and replace them with the desired exogenous sequences.
- Gene editing by contrast utilizes nucleases to break DNA in a sequence specific manner ,which allows gene to be either removed, corrected or replaced.
Part A What is the main technical difference in how DNA is modified that differs between...
4. The CRISPR-Cas9 system is an important new technique in
molecular biology. What is the natural function of this system?
Describe how you would use this system to generate a null mutation
in another organism (i.e. explain Figure 6-43). How does it work?
What is the modification of the method that allows for correction
of a mutation (e.g. the mouse crystalline gene)? And lastly, what
are the problems with the CRISPR system?

strand, resulting in double-stranded breaks (DSBs) that trigger cellular repai mechanisms. In eukaryotes, the DSBs are more commonly repaired by the mechanism ot error prone non ho mologous end joining (NHEJ), therefore generating sequence changes, for instance insertions and deletians (indels), around the DSBs. Owing to the simplicity of manipulation and versati ity, the CRISPR/Cas9 system has been...
