Characterization of CRISPR Technologies Using Cell-Free Transcription and Translation and an Acoustic Liquid Handler

Speakers:
 
Vincent Noireaux, PhD, Professor, University of Minnesota
Aset Khakimzhan, PhD Student, University of Minnesota
 
This webinar is part two of a two-part series on abstract cell-free expression.
 
In the last decade, CRISPR technologies have revolutionized molecular biology. In this webinar, we show how prototyping CRISPR components can be accelerated by combining a cell-free transcription and translation (TXTL) system with an Echo Acoustic Liquid Handler (LH) from Beckman Coulter Life Sciences. 
 
This presentation covers: 
  1. Overview of TXTL and its applications 
  2. How accelerated prototyping can be used to test sgRNAs, new CRISPR, and anti-CRISPR proteins 
  3. Overview and specifications of Echo LH 
  4. The speed and resource savings enabled by the Echo LH in a TXTL lab 
  5. Echo LH and TXTL to characterize CRISPR enzymes and anti-CRISPR proteins 
  6. Echo LH and TXTL to uncover fundamentals of target recognition 
  7. Application of the Echo LH to accelerate CRISPR based genetic circuits
