Episode Synopsis "CiBER-Seq: 1000 Times Faster than CRISPR-Cas9"

Hello, and welcome to Emcee Squared!  I’m Sunjum Sanghari, and this episode’s topic will be the recent discovery of a new technique for mapping genetic networks using an improvement to CRISPR-Cas9. This new technique, named CiBER-Seq, can tweak several thousand genes at once to determine their impacts instead of only one at a time, as CRISPR can. With me today I have Dr. Ryan Muller, a graduate student from UC Berkeley who has studied genome sequencing and gene expressions. Dr. Muller and his group of researchers were able to increase CRISPR's efficiency in terms of genome sequencing and gene expression and its prospects for the future.   Here is a link to Dr. Muller's research paper: https://science.sciencemag.org/content/370/6522/eabb9662.editor-summary  Make sure to also check out Socratic Studios on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQpX6mF8FEC7e_6NpcPYP8A   Credits to Dr. Ryan Muller, his research team, and UC Berkeley.
