Current CRISPR gene editing is hindered by off-target effects and on-target efficiencies. In this webinar, hear from Abcam’s gene editing expert, Dr. Yongwon Kwon, to discover how the optimization of guide RNA (gRNA) design offers a solution to improve the efficiency of CRISPR editing.

Join Kwon as he explores the challenges underlying good gRNA design and the relevant tools needed to assist with this process, as well as discussing the recent data from Abcam’s novel dual-guide-based method showing up to 100% efficiency in CRISPR knockout.

DNA SequencingDNA sequencing, such as sanger sequencing, is a biological technique that determines the precise order of nucleotide bases in a fragment or template of DNA. DNA sequencers and genetic analyzers are based on capillary electrophoresis, where labeled DNA fragments are electrophoretically separated by size as they migrate through a polymer.
