Bringing in Light Genome Editing Techniques: ZFN, TALEN and Meganucleases

Presently, there are several companies and universities, which are exploring the potential of different gene editing technologies beyond CRISPR for basic research, and the development of gene editing solutions. With the development of a variety of versatile DNA modulation technologies such as include zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs), TAL effector nucleases (TALENs), engineered endonucleases / meganucleases (EMNs)

Genome Editing: Future Potential and Ethical Concerns

Scientists around the word are debating the scientific and ethical possibilities of using powerful gene editing tools, such as the CRISPR/Cas9 system, to treat heritable diseases in human embryos. In 1987, the discovery of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated (Cas) genes in single celled prokaryotic systems revolutionized genetic engineering. Initially thought to be
