  2. Human genetic enhancement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genetic_enhancement

    Genetic human enhancement emerges as a potential frontier in disease prevention by precisely targeting genetic predispositions to various illnesses. Through techniques like CRISPR, specific genes associated with diseases can be edited or modified, offering the prospect of reducing the hereditary risk of conditions such as cancer, cardiovascular ...

  3. Human germline engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_germline_engineering

    Modifying human embryos to give the CCR5 Δ32 allele protects them from the disease. An other use would be to cure genetic disorders. In the first study published regarding human germline engineering, the researchers attempted to edit the HBB gene which codes for the human β-globin protein. HBB mutations produce β-thalassaemia, which can be ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_engineering_techniques

    Human-directed genetic manipulation began with the domestication of plants and animals through artificial selection in about 12,000 BC. [1]: 1 Various techniques were developed to aid in breeding and selection. Hybridization was one way rapid changes in an organism's genetic makeup could be introduced. Crop hybridization most likely first ...
