| News - CRISPR Gene Editing |
 It has been reported (but not confirmed by publication) that USA scientists have gene-edited embryos using CRISPR. This follows on from an earlier 2015 published work (PMID 25894090) from China using the same technique see Nature 22 April 2015 and a more recent 2017 paper (PMID 28251317).
The CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing system was derived from the adaptive immune system evolved in bacteria to defend against invading plasmids and viruses. |
