LAB 3: Plasmid DNA isolation from transformants (4 credit hours+ 0.5 h)
Pick 3-5 single colonies for each sgRNA insert and culture them overnight. Isolation Plasmid DNA from
transformants.
LAB 4: Restriction analysis (4 credit hours)
Screen positive transformants by restriction analysis and sequencing.
Module III (LAB 5-6) Cell transfection (9.5 credit hours)
After sequence validation of correct CRISPR plasmid construct, we will isolate Plasmid DNA without
endotoxin that may cause cell death (lab 5) and then transfect them into the mammalian cells (lab 6).
LAB 5: Plasmid DNAs isolation without endotoxin (4 credit hours+0.5h)
Pick 3-5 single colonies for each sgRNA insert and culture them overnight. Isolate plasmid DNAs
without endotoxin.
LAB 6: Electroporation (4 credit hours+ 1h)
Transfect siRNA and correct CRISPR plasmid construct into mammalian cell lines, respectively..
Please note that aperiodic observation and treatment of cells are required after cell transfection.
Module IV (LAB 7-10) Functional validation of sgRNAs (20 credit hours)
LAB 7: Cell Sorting and clonal isolation of gene-edited cell lines (4 credit hours+1h)
Isolate gene-edited cells by cell sorting. Please note that aperiodic observation and treatment of cells
are required after Cell Sorting.
LAB 8: RNA isolation and Detection, RT (4 credit hours+ 1h)
Isolate total RNAs from cells using Trizol reagent. Detect the quality of total RNAs and convert them
into cDNA.
Please note that aperiodic observation and treatment of cells are required after Cell Sorting.
LAB 9 Relative quantitation (4 credit hours+ 1h)
Please note that aperiodic observation and treatment of cells are required after Cell Sorting.
LAB 10. Expanding gene-edited cell population derived from a single cell (4 credit hours+1)
Subculture cell population derived from a single cell. Analyze the result of Relative quantitation.
Please note that aperiodic observation and treatment of cells are required.
