Genome Editing- Future of Health

Gene editing allows scientists to change gene sequences by adding, replacing or removing sections of DNA. This animation explains how this technology works, as well as its possible ethical and societal implications.

Scientists will soon have the tools to rewrite the book of life, and in doing so, edit out sections that cause disease, piece by piece. But is the technology safe and will all of us get the benefits, or will it be the preserve of those who can afford it?

CRISPR technology offers the promise to cure any human genetic disease. Which are the candidates to become the first one?

Gene editing occurs when scientists change the DNA of an organism. Learn more about this process and the different ways it can be done.
