The module emphasizes practical learning and offers state-of-the-art knowledge in genome editing. It focuses primarily on understanding clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated protein Cas9 (CRISPR-Cas9) as powerful tools for editing and detecting nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA. CRISPR-Cas9 is extensively used in modern biotechnology and synthetic biology laboratories, making it an essential practical skill for biologists in today's industry.
