Genome manipulati on is often required to create new experimental animal models and to study gene functions. New techniques have been developed to facilitate the spec ific manipulation of the genome in eukaryotes. The most recent one is base d on the bacterial CRISPR/Cas9 system. The injection of the CRISPR/Cas9 ed iting system has proved effective in creating animals with targeted modifi cations in the genome in one single generation. The goals of my research p roject were to refine the CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing efficiency in porcine embryos and study the effects of manipulating specific genes during early embryo development.\n\nEveryone in the 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ community is welcome to att end a PhD oral defence. Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of our PhD candidates.\n DTSTART:20190221T141500Z DTEND:20190221T141500Z LOCATION:MS2-022\, Macdonald-Stewart Building\, CA\, QC\, St Anne de Bellev ue\, H9X 3V9\, 21111 Lakeshore Road SUMMARY:PhD Oral Defence: Refinement of CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing efficiency and its application to the study of porcine early embryo development URL:/macdonald/channels/event/phd-oral-defence-refinem ent-crisprcas9-gene-editing-efficiency-and-its-application-study-porcine-2 94467 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
