FGBI ARRIAH Specialists Completed Advanced Training Program “Theory and Practice of Mammalian Cell Genome Editing”

During the implementation of the activities of the research program on the topic "Creation of a complex of means of protection against economically and socially significant animal diseases based on the selected methods of genomic sequencing of industrial strains of microorganisms", carried out at the expense of a grant from the Ministry of Education and Science of RUSSIA in the implementation of certain activities of the Federal Scientific and Technical Program for the Development of Genetic Technologies for 2019-2027, from December 20 to December 24, 2021, employees of the Federal Center for Animal HEALTH, subordinate to ROSSELKHOZNADZOR, Ph.D. Sprygin A.V., Ph.D. Ali Mazlum and Ph.D. Zinyakov N.G. completed training under the advanced training program "Theory and practice of editing the genome of mammalian cells", organized on the basis of the Medical Scientific and Educational Center of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education “Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov (Moscow State University).

During the training, specialists listened to a course of lectures on the theoretical foundations of a genetic engineering experiment and performed practical work using genetic engineering methods to create modifications in the genome of mammalian cells using CRISPR-Cas9 technology.

As a result of the internship, FGBI “ARRIAH” specialists acquired knowledge of modern approaches to constructing the necessary vectors for genome editing, as well as practical skills in performing individual stages of gene cloning.
