Increasing CRISPR-mediated digital data storage in DNA using engineered “Janus” protospacers 2023 101 DNA molecules can be used to store digital data if the sequence of their nucleotides is assigned to different values of ‘0’ or ‘1’. Rather than having to synthesize new DNA molecules for data storage on demand, our laboratory and its collaborators ha...
M.S. selective enrichment of rare mutations as a new biotechnology to study DNA mismatch repair processes in bacteria 2020 340 DNA mismatch repair (MMR) is the key process which ensures the incorporation of correct nucleotides during DNA replication by recognizing and removing of incorrectly paired nucleotides from DNA. DNA replication can introduce a mismatched nucleotide a...
Screening highly-specific hairpin guide RNAs for CRISPR-Cas gene editing 2021 185 This thesis outlines the development of a screening method to improve the specificity of the CRISPR effector, Cas9, in gene editing applications. We accomplish this by identifying modifications to the RNA-cofactor of Cas9, its guide RNA (gRNA), that ...
