Our goal is to synthetically direct the CRISPR pathway. This entails developing a robust, modular platform for inserting new CRISPR spacers for customizable nucleotide targeting. We will demonstrate and test the platform on a variety of gene targets.

'''C'''lustered '''R'''egularly '''I'''nterspaced '''S'''hort '''P'''alindromic '''R'''epeats (CRISPR) are a genomic feature of many prokaryotic and archeal species. CRISPR functions as an adaptive immune system. A CRISPR locus consists of a set of CAS (CRISPR associated) genes, a leader, or promoter, sequence, and an array. This array consists of repeating elements along with "spacers". These spacer regions direct the CRISPR machinery to degrade or otherwise inactivate a complementary sequence in the cell.
