Agenda:

• Activity 2.2.2: Reproductive Technology and Genetic Engineering
• Radiolab: CRISPR Technology
• MIT & CRISPR Video

Part 2: Resource Links for learning about CRISPR:

• The website on yourgenome.org provides the most information

• Nature magazine's infographic is straightforward and great

• Know your Neurons infographic goes deeper and more comprehensive

• The video on Vimeo is also very helpful for modifying and mutating genes using CRISPR

Part 3: 

• View the ArgosBiotech’s website, Cloning: A Timeline

• View University of Utah's website on what is cloning?

• Nation Human Genome Research Institute - Cloning fact sheet 

Learning Target(s)

I can ...
