3. List similarities and differences between RNA interference
and CRISPR-Cas9 system.
Similarities of RNA interference and CRISPR- Cas 9 system ( Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats):
1. These both techniques are used for modifying gene structure It has revolutionised the mammalian biomedical research and enchanced the promises of gene therapy. Major applications of both the techniques are Mammalian in vitro reverse genetic screens, Transient in vitro gene expression suppression, Introduction or correction of mutations etc.
2. Both RNA i and CRISPR Cas 9 have therapeutic applications in humans.
3. They both uses small RNAs to guide ribonucleoprotein complex to the target nucleic acid and that functinally analog proteins can be found.
Differences between RNAi and CRISPR- Cas 9 system
| RNA interference | CRISPR- Cas 9 syatem |
| RNAi will act at the cytoplasm. | It is a nuclear method. |
| RNAi technique is a matured technique. | This technique is still developing. |
| RNAi inducible system are isogenic- hence ease of comparison. | CRISPR cas9 system is not isogenic. |
| It causes post-transcriptional RNA degradation | It causes the frameshift DNA mutation . |
| Result is reversible knockout. | Result is permanent knockout. |

interference 8 bacteria CRISPR-Cas is an adaptive defense system in Cas1 exe In the first phase, called bacteriophage DNA is cut into pieces by a complex consisting of Pieces of bacteriophage DNA are inserted into the spacer region of the If the same bacteriophage infects the bacterium a second time, the expression and proteins crispr adaptation begins with production of the pre-crRNA The pre-crRNA consists of several repeat regions separated by base-pairs with the repeat regions and the pre-CrRNA is...
You wish to edit a gene in a population of stem cells using CRISPR/Cas9. You design a plasmid and transfect it into the cells. Your plasmid included the guide RNA sequence with promoter, the Cas9 gene inserted between an appropriate promoter and termination sequence, and the usual Origin of Replication and Resistance/Marker gene. However, instead of being edited, your target gene is silenced and its protein is not produced at all. What is the most likely explanation? The cells have...
1. What is the source of the “spacer” DNA in the bacterial CRISPR locus? 2. Why does the cas9 enzyme have two nuclease domains? 3. What is the relationship between the tracrRNA and the regularly interspersed repeats of the CRISPR locus? Why is this important? 4. In the lab version of the CRISPR/cas9 system, what is the “chimeric RNA”?
