The initial price was $50,000/person. One of the first clients was former Solexa CEO John West, who had his entire family of four sequenced. [22] In January 2012, Life Technologies unveiled a new sequencing instrument, the Ion Proton Sequencer, which it said would achieve the $1,000 genome in a day within 12 months. [23]
EDIT-101 is a CRISPR based gene therapy for treatment of Leber congenital amaurosis, which is currently in clinical trials. EDIT-301 is an experimental potential treatment utilizing the firm's CAS 12a editing technology for sickle cell disease and beta-thalassemia. In 2019 the firm reported early success in research on the drug;.
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 insert genetic material into a host genome, genome editing targets the insertions to site-specific locations.

Precision BioSciences' proprietary technology is the ARCUS platform and ARCUS nucleases. [4] [8] ARCUS nucleases are based on a naturally occurring genome editing enzyme, I-CreI, a homing endonuclease that evolved in the algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [4] [12] to make highly specific cuts and DNA insertions in cellular DNA.

Base editors used for prime editing require delivery of both a protein and RNA molecule into living cells. Introducing exogenous gene editing technologies into living organisms is a significant challenge. One potential way to introduce a base editor into animals and plants is to package the base editor into a viral capsid.
In July 2018, the ECJ ruled that gene editing for plants was a sub-category of GMO foods and therefore that the CRISPR technique would henceforth be regulated in the European Union by their rules and regulations for GMOs. [37] In February 2020, a US trial showed safe CRISPR gene editing on three cancer patients. [38]
