roblem $3(16$ pts$)$: Individuals with BRCA$1$ mutations often inherit a mutation in one copy

of their BRCA$1$ gene. The most common mutation is nonsense mutation that changes

arginine $1443$ to a stop codon. You would like to use CRISPR to treat BRCA$1+/-$ patients.

Wild type BRCA$1$:

$1.$ Which allele will you target?

$2.$ Is there a $(5-$NGG$-3)$ PAM site present? If so$,$ circle it$/$them in the sequence.

$3.$ Write the $20$bp of complementary RNA sequence you will use to generate your

crRNA.

$4.$ Will you include anything else to $$fix$$ the mutant allele?
