For example, the diminishing cost of sequencing the human genome (from $10 million to $1,000), the accumulation of large datasets of genetic information, the discovery of gene drives, and the discovery of CRISPR. [5] Biotechnology risk is therefore a credible explanation for the Fermi paradox. [6]
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.
With the discovery of various types of immune-related disorders, there is a need for diversification in prevention and treatment. Developments in the field of gene therapy are being studied to be included in the scope of this treatment, but of course more research is needed to increase the positive results and minimize the negative effects of gene therapy applications.

At age 45, Dr. Lakiea Bailey said, she was the oldest person with sickle cell anemia that she knew.
The United Kingdom has become the first country to give regulatory approval to a medical treatment involving the revolutionary CRISPR gene editing tool. CRISPR treatment has been greenlit in UK in ...
Now, on Dec. 8, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the very first treatment in the country based on the technology. In the medical world, that’s lightning speed.
CRISPR-associated transposons or CASTs are mobile genetic elements that have evolved to make use of minimal CRISPR systems for RNA-guided transposition of their DNA. [1] Unlike traditional CRISPR systems that contain interference mechanisms to degrade targeted DNA, CASTs lack proteins and/or protein domains responsible for DNA cleavage. [ 2 ]
The FDA approved a new treatment for sickle cell disease. The therapy is first to use the ground-editing tool CRISPR. FDA approves cure for sickle cell disease, the first treatment to use CRISPR
