    On 30 December 2019, a Chinese district court found He Jiankui guilty of illegal practice of medicine, sentencing him to three years in prison with a fine of 3 million yuan. [ 35 ] [ 36 ] Zhang Renli and Qin Jinzhou received an 18-month prison sentence and a 500,000-yuan fine, and were banned from working in assisted reproductive technology for ...

  3. CRISPR - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRISPR

    CRISPR gene editing is a revolutionary technology that allows for precise, targeted modifications to the DNA of living organisms. Developed from a natural defense mechanism found in bacteria, CRISPR-Cas9 is the most commonly used system, that allows "cutting" of DNA at specific locations and either delete, modify, or insert genetic material.

  4. CRISPR gene editing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRISPR_gene_editing

    CRISPR has also found many applications in developing cell-based immunotherapies. [177] The first clinical trial involving CRISPR started in 2016. It involved taking immune cells from people with lung cancer, using CRISPR to edit out the gene expressed PD-1, then administering the altered cells back to the same person. 20 other trials were ...

    The CRISPR-Cas system was selected by Science as 2015 Breakthrough of the Year. [ 5 ] As of 2015 [update] four families of engineered nucleases were used: meganucleases , zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector-based nucleases (TALEN), and the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats ( CRISPR / Cas9 ...

    Doudna was introduced to CRISPR by Jillian Banfield in 2006 who had found Doudna by way of a Google search, having typed "RNAi and UC Berkeley" into her browser, and Doudna's name came up at the top of the list. [37] [38] In 2012, Doudna and her colleagues made a new discovery that reduces the time and work needed to edit genomic DNA.

    [16] [17] TALEN and CRISPR are the two most commonly used and each has its own advantages. [18] TALENs have greater target specificity, while CRISPR is easier to design and more efficient. [18] The development of the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system has effectively halved the amount of time needed to develop genetically modified animals. [19

  9. CRISPR-associated transposons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRISPR-associated_transposons

    CRISPR-associated transposons have been harnessed for in vitro and in vivo gene editing at different targets, in different hosts, and with different payloads. All CAST components of the Tn6677 system from Vibrio cholerae have been combined into a single plasmid and confirmed to deliver up to 10kb transposons at near 100% efficiency. [ 16 ]
