CRISPR Update: Considerations for a Rapidly Evolving and Transformative Technology

چکیده
Earlier this year, only a few months after the Chinese stunned the world by announcing that they had edited genes in human embryos,[1] the British Human Fertilisation & Embryology Authority (HFEA) gave researchers in the U.K. permission to conduct similar experiments with human embryos who have been abandoned at local fertility clinics.[2] This research?made possible by a technological revolution in DNA editing called CRISPR/Cas9?is controversial not only because of the moral status of the embryos involved but also because of the potential for permanent changes to be introduced into the human gene pool by means of germline intervention, and fears of the further commodification of human life in the form of designer babies.

The advent of 3D printers has been embraced globally within few years of its emergence. The surge in the acceptability of rapid manufacturing RM technology can be attributed to the depletion and cost of natural resources, waste reduction and sustainability criterion of manufactured parts. This rapidly evolving 3D printing technologies is predicted to grow exponentially especially for the manufa...
متن کاملApplication of the Novel CRISPR / Cas Technology in Diagnosis of COVID-19 Strains
The novel Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused respiratory infection, resulting in more than two million deaths globally and hospitalizing thousands of people until 2021. A considerable percentage of the SARS-CoV-2 positive patients are asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic carriers, facilitating the viral spread in the community by their social activities. Hence, i...
متن کاملGeneration of global Spata19 knockout mouse using CRISPR/Cas9 nickase technology
Introduction: SPATA19 gene is expressed in developmental stages of testis and some organs, but so far its function has only been examined in the testis. In this study, we provided an effective pathway for the generation of these mice using new CRISPR / Cas9 nickase method while generating Spata19 knockout mice for future studies in other organs. Materials and Methods: CRISPR / Cas9 nickase plas...
