Opis

Genome editing is a recent method of making specific changes in the DNA. Editing Genomes with the Bacterial Immune System technology has emerged as a powerful technology for genome editing and is now widely used in basic biomedical research to explore gene function. This technology has been increasingly applied to the study and treatment of human diseases, by modifying human blood cells that are then put back into the body to treat several diseases as Cystic fibrosis, cancer, and AIDS. The technology of genome editing involves cuts in specific DNA sequences with enzymes called engineering nucleases. Genome editing can be used to edit, remove, add or alter DNA in the genome.
