Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a scenario where you need to edit a specific gene to fix a genetic disorder using CRISPR technology. Outline the steps you would take from the moment you choose your gRNA to the method of repair you would prefer to use, and justify your choices.

💡 Hint: Think about the importance of specificity in gene repair.

Question 2

Analyze why NHEJ might be acceptable for certain applications while HDR is preferred for others. Discuss the implications in a research setting versus a therapeutic one.

💡 Hint: Consider safety and efficacy in the context of real-world applications.
