  2. Genome editing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genome_editing

    Genome editing, or genome engineering, or gene editing, is a type of genetic engineering in which DNA is inserted, deleted, modified or replaced in the genome of a living organism. Unlike early genetic engineering techniques that randomly inserts genetic material into a host genome, genome editing targets the insertions to site-specific locations.

  3. Genetic engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_engineering

    Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification or genetic manipulation, is the modification and manipulation of an organism's genes using technology. It is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to produce improved or novel organisms .

  4. Genetic engineering techniques - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_engineering_techniques

    Genetic engineering techniques allow the modification of animal and plant genomes. Techniques have been devised to insert, delete, and modify DNA at multiple levels, ranging from a specific base pair in a specific gene to entire genes. There are a number of steps that are followed before a genetically modified organism (GMO) is created.

    Editing the big dystrophin gene in multiple locations as Vertex intends might produce complete dystrophin that's fully functional, but there are some big drawbacks. There are heaps of potential ...

  6. Human germline engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_germline_engineering

    Human germline engineering has two potential applications: prevent genetic disorders from passing to descendants, and to modify traits such as height that are not disease related. For example, the Berlin Patient has a genetic mutation in the CCR5 gene that suppresses the expression of CCR5.

  7. CRISPR gene editing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRISPR_gene_editing

    Epigenome editing or epigenome engineering is a type of genetic engineering in which the epigenome is modified at specific sites using engineered molecules targeted to those sites (as opposed to whole-genome modifications). Whereas gene editing involves changing the actual DNA sequence itself, epigenetic editing involves modifying and ...

  8. Gene targeting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_targeting

    A Venn Diagram to show the relationship between three types of 'Genetic engineering'; Genetic Modification, Gene Targeting and Genome Editing. The relationship between gene targeting, gene editing and genetic modification is outlined in the Venn diagram below. It displays how 'Genetic engineering' encompasses all 3 of these techniques.

  9. Human genetic enhancement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genetic_enhancement

    Genetic testing, genetic engineering, and stem cell research are often discussed together due to the interrelated moral arguments surrounding these topics. The distinction between repairing genes and enhancing genes is a central idea in many moral debates surrounding genetic enhancement because some argue that repairing genes is morally ...
