Horizon Discovery Offers Improved Workflow for Cell-line Engineering with CRISPR-Cas9 in Educational Webinar
YORBA LINDA, Calif. (PRWEB) June 14, 2018 -- CRISPR-Cas9 is a versatile tool to discover more about biological pathway or gene of interest. The simplicity of the CRISPR-Cas9 system has led to an explosion in applications, from single cell genomics to personalized medicine.
After more than 10 years of experience in cell line engineering, the team at Horizon Discovery has optimized all steps of the workflow. This webinar will present some useful tips and tricks that can help minimize the bench time needed to reach your gene-engineering goals. These best practices will increase the confidence in results with thorough validation of your phenotype.
Aside from an introduction to CRISPR-Cas9 genome engineering, in this webinar, which is sponsored by Horizon Discovery, participants will learn the key considerations when embarking on your gene engineering project such as designing reagents, targeting the gene of interest, and validating the resulting clones as well as the benefit of using a secondary model.
Scientific liaison and trainer for Horizon Discovery, Dr. Laura Carleton, will be the speaker for this event. Carlton received her Bachelor of Science from Trinity University in Dublin before earning her doctorate in biochemistry and molecular biology from the National University of Ireland. She has been using and generating cell lines and model systems for eight years.
LabRoots will host this webinar June 27, 2018, beginning at 8 a.m. PDT, 11 a.m. EDT. To learn more about this event, the continuing education credits offered, or to register for free, click here.
