Transforming E.coli Bacteria; Resistant to Kanamycin Using the Cas9 Enzyme

Jan 5, 2025

This experiment demonstrates the genetic editing of E. coli bacteria to make them resistant to the antibiotic kanamycin, using the CRISPR-Cas9 technique, with the main objective of demonstrating the process of genetic alteration using a nuclease (Cas9) and a guide RNA (gRNA).

To understand the nature of being a Bioengineer and the nature of Bioengineering, I interviewed Trinny Tat. She is a Bioengineer, and she has studied at Caltech and UCLA.

Cells Culture

Oct 25, 2024

Cell culture is a process of growing cells outside their natural environment, like growing human cells outside a human body. For this, it is needed to isolate the human cells of a specific tissue, nurture them, and control their environment and conditions. Those factors help the cells grow and, therefore, accelerate their development.

Gene Therapy

Set 5, 2024

Gene therapy is a medical approach that aims to prevent and treat diseases by the use of genetic material. It adds a completely new gene, or a modified one to the person. It can even replace the genes with other genes, or it can inactivate genes. That way, gene therapy aims to get rid of a disease by replacing or inactivating a bad gene.
