4. The CRISPR system
- based on bacterial immune system
- normally occurring in bacterial processes
- first reported in 1987 for the Ecoli But at the same time
Their function was unknown

5. The CRISPR system
-In 2000 similar repeats were identified in other bacteria
-In 2002 similar repeats were named CRISPR and a
set of proteins was found to be associated with CRISPR
repeats (Cas: CRISPR associated gene)

6. The CRISPR system
-In 2005 research showed that some CRISPR spacers
are derived from bacteriophage
-In 2007 researcher could use spacer DNA to alter the
resistance of s.thermophilus to phage attack

7. The CRISPR system
and finally in 2015 :
Doudna and Charpentier discovered that how bacteria
use spacers in it’s immune system

21. Stage 3:
interference
-Cas is an endonuclease enzyme which have two
cleavage domain (DSB)
- Viral target DNA will cleaving at 3 bp on PAM
upstream
- Multiple viral spacer acquisition = Multiple cleavage

23. Application of CRISPR/Cas9 in genome editing
- Endonucleases are usually 4-8 bp cutter
- Animal and plant DNA length is around
1000-3000 Mb
- So it’s will make a lot of unwanted band
(digestion produces)
16
24. - Cas-sgRNA complex is a smart and
programmable Nuclease
As stated before :
- RNP recognition sites is 17-20 nt
(spacer lenght)
17
25. Cas-sgRNA complex can:
- Make a DSB in any desired target
location
-So CRISPR system have a great
potential to become a
genome editing
tool

47. Application of CRISPR/Cas9
- Knockout/Knockin Mouse generation :
Traditional methods: at least 6~12 months
CRISPR/Cas9 : 2 Months with ~90% of efficiency
39
- with cas9 nickase ability off-target effects will reducing to 0%
- there is no need to backcrossing F1 lines with parent lines
- Site-directed mutagenesis: Disease Model Generation
-Curing genetic diseases like HIV and Cancer
-Gene Activation / Repression by dCas9
- It’s changes is inheritable
- low price
