Genome Engineering; a Group of Technologies Used To Change an Organism's DNA

Image
  Genome engineering, also known as genetic editing, gene manipulation, or genetic engineering, is basically a form of genetic engineering where DNA is introduced, inserted, deleted, or altered at the genetic level of an organism. It involves editing and modifying the genetic material of living organisms. There are various methods to insert, delete, and modify genetic material in living organisms. In recent years, several approaches to genome editing have been developed. Genome engineering technologies enable scientists to make changes in DNA, leading to changes in physical traits. These technologies act like scissors, cutting DNA at a specific spot. The process of editing DNA may be done to address specific needs, such as to create an animal/plant hybrid, repair a disease gene, or add on to a chromosome. It may also be used to screen thousands of diseases for genetic disorders. It allows scientists to study how various lifestyle traits and physical attributes are affected by gen...

CRISPR and CAS Gene Editing Is a Revolution in the History of Global Medicine And Healthcare Sectors Are Trying To Achieve More Finesse in the Method

  CRISPR and CAS Gene editing is an innovative genetic engineering method practiced in different regions of the world including the U.S., U.K., and Italy, in molecular biology whereby the genetic codes of living things can be changed. It is largely based on a simplified form of the bacterial CRISPR and CAS Gene antiviral defense system. The method involves restriction enzymes that cause the change in the DNA sequence, and it is called genetic alterations because the modifications make the target organism less resistant to diseases. Since the insertion of genetic changes involves deletion of non-functional sequences or insertions of sequences with functional genes, it is termed transcriptomic or somatic gene editing. There are several applications of CRISPR and CAS Gene and most importantly these methods are being used for the research of the disease. Gene therapy using CRISPR and CAS Gene has been extensively used in the field of genetics. These methods can be broadly categorize...
