    Abstract:

    As CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)-Cas9 technology becomes more mainstream in life science research, it becomes critical for undergraduate instructors to devise engaging ways to bring the technology into their classrooms. To help meet this challenge, the National Science Foundation sponsored a workshop for undergraduate instructors in June 2018 at The Ohio State University in conjunction with the annual Association of Biology Laboratory Educators meeting based on a workflow developed by the workshop’s facilitators. Over the course of two and a half days, participants worked through a modular workflow for the use of CRISPR-Cas9 in a course-based (undergraduate) research experience (CURE) setting while discussing the barriers each of their institutions had to implementing such work, and how such barriers could be overcome. The result of the workshop was a team with newfound energy and confidence to implement CRISPR-Cas9 technology in their courses and the development of a community of undergraduate educators dedicated to supporting each other in the implementation of the workflow either in a CURE or modular format. In this article, we review the activities and discussions from the workshop that helped each participant devise their own tailored approaches of how best to bring this exciting new technology into their classes.

Steps of the CRISPR-Cas9 workshop workflow. Phase 1 of the workflow involves gene analysis using a genome browser (e.g., ENSEMBL) and CRISPR/sgRNA design using bioinformatics tools (e.g., Benchling, CRISPRScan, ChopChop). In Phase 2, a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) that will be used as a template for sgRNA synthesis is prepared. Phase 3 involves the synthesis of sgRNA by T7 RNA polymerase-driven transcription followed by quantitative and qualitative analysis of the synthesized RNA. During Phase 4, the nuclease activity of the sgRNA-Cas9 ribonucleoprotein complex on the PCR-amplified genomic target region is tested . CRISPR = clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats; sgRNA = single guide RNA.
