Dear all,

registrations are now open for the third edition of the Physalia course: Introduction to CRISPR for Ecology and Evolution Studies (online, 13–16 October)

Course website: https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/course53/

This course offers a practical and theoretical introduction to CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing, with a focus on its application in evolutionary and ecological research. Participants will gain the skills needed to design and implement gene knockout (KO) experiments, with a particular emphasis on non-model organisms.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the fundamentals of the CRISPR-Cas9 system

• Design and evaluate effective sgRNAs for gene knockouts

• Assemble and optimize Cas9/sgRNA mixes

• Perform genotyping and mutation screening

• Analyze deep sequencing data from KO experiments

• Apply CRISPR-based approaches to their own research projects

This course is ideal for researchers, graduate students, and technicians in biology, ecology, and related fields who are interested in integrating CRISPR tools into their work.
