CRISPR: A game-changing genetic engineering technique. “Have you heard? A revolution has seized the scientific community. Within only a few years, research labs worldwide have adopted a new technology that facilitates making specific changes in the DNA of humans, other animals, and plants.” https://lnkd.in/dUkmJmK View in LinkedIn

"CRISPR, THE DISRUPTOR. A powerful gene-editing technology is the biggest game changer to hit biology since PCR. But with its huge potential come pressing concerns. CRISPR is causing a major upheaval in biomedical research. Unlike other gene-editing methods, it is cheap, quick and easy to use, and it has swept through labs around the world as a result." http://www.nature.com/news/crispr-the-disruptor-1.17673 View in LinkedIn

USES OF CRISPR. "Researchers hope to use it to adjust human genes to eliminate diseases, create hardier plants, wipe out pathogens and much more besides." http://www.nature.com/news/crispr-the-disruptor-1.17673 View in LinkedIn

BROAD REACH. "Researchers have used Crispr to make wheat resistant to a damaging blight; to alter 62 pig genes so they could, theoretically, grow human organs for transplant; and to edit a human embryo to repair a gene that causes a fatal blood disorder." https://lnkd.in/ep7qVej View in LinkedIn

MONUMENTAL. "Crispr-Cas9 makes it easy, cheap, and fast to move genes around—any genes, in any living thing, from bacteria to people. “These are monumental moments in the history of biomedical research,” Baltimore says. “They don't happen every day.” http://www.wired.com/2015/07/crispr-dna-editing-2/ View in LinkedIn

KEY STEP. "Last year, bioengineer Daniel Anderson of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge and his colleagues used CRISPR in mice to correct a mutation associated with a human metabolic disease called tyrosinaemia. It was the first use of CRISPR to fix a disease-causing mutation in an adult animal — and an important step towards using the technology for gene therapy in humans." http://www.nature.com/news/crispr-the-disruptor-1.17673 View in LinkedIn

FIRSTS. "The past few years have seen a flurry of “firsts” with CRISPR, from creating monkeys with targeted mutations to preventing HIV infection in human cells. Earlier this month, Chinese scientists announced they applied the technique to nonviable human embryos, hinting at CRISPR’s potential to cure any genetic disease. And yes, it might even lead to designer babies." http://gizmodo.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-crispr-the-new-tool-1702114381 View in LinkedIn
