Genome Editing: A Practical Guide to Research and Clinical Applications is geared towards investigators interested in learning how to use CRISPR-Cas9-based technologies, with a focus on cardiovascular research and clinical applications. Covering a range of topics from the basics of genome editing to design considerations, to assessments and applications, this reference allows readers to get started and establish a full workflow from the beginning of the project to its full completion. With worked examples drawn from real-life experiments, as well as troubleshooting and pitfalls to avoid, the book serves as an essential reference for researchers and investigators in both cardiovascular and biomedical research.- Help readers familiarise with the variety of genome-editing approaches that are being applied in cardiovascular research and medicine, i.e., both research applications and clinical applications- Understand the use of genome editing through worked examples (based on real-life experiments) in which CRISPR-Cas9 is employed, online tools to design CRISPR-Cas9 reagents, methods to interpret data from genome-editing experiments, the downsides of genome-editing technology - both the scientific and ethical pitfalls to avoid- Written in an easy-to-follow manner, guiding readers from the design of the project to its completion- Includes unpublished and new methods
