Genetics Edit the gene

Posted by: @benzol00

Hello everyone, how can we edit the gene? Does gene editing work?

Hi as far as I know, tests are underway to edit the genotype of cells using viruses

CRISP-CAS?))) That's something what comes first to my mind

Yes, it works. CRISPR-Cas9 has recently emerged as a powerful and versatile gene editing technology with wide implications for biology and medicine. The technology functions like molecular scissors for precise gene manipulation, and various versions of the system have been developed to broaden its range of applications for manipulating genes and their expression in a wide variety of cells and organisms. CRISPR-Cas9 was quickly adopted by the biology community around the world and is now recognized as a transformative technology in various fields of research with tremendous potential to contribute to the understanding and treatment of human genetic diseases, cancers or infectious diseases.

Thanks everyone

@benzol00 you're welcome)

CRISPR-Cas9 is a restriction enzyme?

@argentum this is what I've found:

CRISPR and restriction enzymes both cut the DNA at certain locations. Restriction enzymes locate certain motifs using various protein structures. These motifs are typically 4-10 base pairs long. CRISPR, on the other hand, uses a guide RNA to locate a certain sequence in the DNA.
