Gene editing technology emerged from the rapid development of molecular biology in the mid-20th century. In the 1970s, scientists discovered restrictionendonuclease, an enzyme capable of cutting DNA molecules with precision. This became the basis of gene editing technology. The CRISPR-Cas9 discovery i...
This article is a review that outlines the history of current technology, as well as the advantages and challenges in use for somatic cell and germline gene editing. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) was first introduced in 2002 and initially saw limited use among ...
The history of gene editing dates back several decades. Early attempts at gene editing were crude and often inefficient. However, with the discovery of CRISPR-Cas9 in 2012, the field took a giant leap forward. This technology is based on a natural defense mechanism found in bacteria. By using...
Gene-editing, which has eveolved into a new technology in medicine has turned out to be a solution to a lot of health issues today. This research is based on the role of gene editing and one will further get to find out if gene editing can be a good replacement to plastic surgery ...
The first gene-editing cure has arrived. Grateful patients are calling it “life changing.” It was only 11 years ago that scientists first developed the potent DNA-snipping technology called CRISPR. Now they’ve brought CRISPR out of the lab and into real medicine with a treatment...
Rewriting technology also has produced microbes that could generate hydrogen which is an alternate source of fuel. Yeasts are made to produce ethanol from cellulose, and engineered bacteria are programed to invade cancer cells and kill them (Sedlak and Ho, 2004; Anderson et al., 2006...
We then summarize the progress made in applying genome editing to various areas of gene and cell therapy, including antiviral strategies, immunotherapies, and the treatment of monogenic hereditary disorders. The current challenges and future prospects for genome editing as a transformative technology for...

editing technology, the possibility of its “improvement” appears, in a variety of ways. So far fairly simple (from the point of view of the inheritance mechanism) diseases, and not only mutated genes can be potentially targets for editing, as well as numerous genes associated with an ...
In the past few years, we have witnessed and been excited by biotechnological advances that allow for the precise editing of genomic information in living eukaryotic cells. Facilitated by TALEN (transcription activator-like effector nucleases) or CRISPR
