Delivering on the promise of gene editing

Drug Discovery World

As gene editing technologies like CRISPR progress toward clinical study, researchers must continue to advance new approaches and address inherent challenges, explains Jon Chesnut, PhD, Senior Director, Cell Biology R&D, Thermo Fisher Scientific. Early phase clinical trials for gene editing therapies.

Epigenetic Editing with CRISPR Might Be Easier Than We Thought

XTalks

These modifications regulate gene expression without changing the sequence or structure of DNA. The tool could also prove to be safer than conventional CRISPR-based gene therapies as it does not involve DNA editing, and thus would not cause potentially harmful off-target genomic changes. pyogenes dCas9.

Women in Science Who Have Paved the Way Forward in Genetics

XTalks

The Human Genome Project recently marked 20 years since the publication of the first full sets of human genomic sequences, an endeavor that spanned well over a decade. Today, new next-generation sequencing technologies allow for the sequencing of complex genomes within just a day or two.
