    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/He_Jiankui_affair

    In 2019, the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania in US announced the use of the CRISPR technology to edit cancer genes in humans, [163] and the results of the phase I clinical trial in 2020. [164] The study started in 2018 with an official registration in the US clinical trials registry. [165]

  3. Off-target genome editing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-target_genome_editing

    Off-target genome editing refers to nonspecific and unintended genetic modifications that can arise through the use of engineered nuclease technologies such as: clustered, regularly interspaced, short palindromic repeats ()-Cas9, transcription activator-like effector nucleases (), meganucleases, and zinc finger nucleases (ZFN). [1]

  4. CRISPR gene editing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRISPR_gene_editing

    CRISPR-Cas9. CRISPR gene editing (CRISPR, pronounced / ˈ k r ɪ s p ə r / (crisper), refers to a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats") is a genetic engineering technique in molecular biology by which the genomes of living organisms may be modified.

  5. Human germline engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_germline_engineering

    In April 2015, a research team published an unsuccessful experiment in which they used CRISPR to edit a gene that is associated with blood disease in non-living human embryos. researchers using CRISPR/Cas9 have run into issues when it comes to mammals due to their complex diploid cells. Studies in microorganisms have examined loss of function ...

  6. StarLink corn recall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlink_corn_recall

    StarLink is a brand of transgenic maize containing two modifications: a gene for resistance to glufosinate, and a variant of the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) protein called Cry9C. [2]

  7. CRISPR - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRISPR

    Cas9 (or "CRISPR-associated protein 9") is an enzyme that uses CRISPR sequences as a guide to recognize and open up specific strands of DNA that are complementary to the CRISPR sequence. Cas9 enzymes together with CRISPR sequences form the basis of a technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 that can be used to edit genes within living organisms.

  8. Gene drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_drive

    A gene drive is a natural process [1] and technology of genetic engineering that propagates a particular suite of genes throughout a population [2] by altering the probability that a specific allele will be transmitted to offspring (instead of the Mendelian 50% probability). Gene drives can arise through a variety of mechanisms.

  9. Anti-CRISPR - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-CRISPR

    One of the main objectives of using CRISPR-Cas9 technology is eradicating diseases, some of which are found in disease vectors, such as mosquitoes. Anti-CRISPR proteins can impede gene drive, which could create uncertain and catastrophic consequences in ecosystems. [30]
