Crispr-Cas9 system works on the concept of bacterial defence mechanism. The idea of which was replicated in eukaryotic cell in in- vitro condition by the researchers.
Genome editing uses engineered nucleases to insert, delete, or replace sections of the genome. CRISPR/Cas9 is a popular genome editing technique that uses guide RNA to direct nucleases to specific DNA sequences. While promising for treating disease, human germline editing raises ethical concerns. Early studies editing human embryos and non-viable embryos demonstrated proof-of-concept but had low efficiencies and off-target mutations. Later studies improved targeting and showed potential for correcting genetic defects. However, regulation is needed as the first claimed use of CRISPR to genetically edit human babies was unapproved.
CRISPR-Cas9 is a genome editing tool that is creating a buzz in the science world. It is faster, cheaper and more accurate than previous techniques of editing DNA and has a wide range of potential applications.
Transgenic animals are produced by introducing foreign DNA into an animal's genome. The first transgenic animal was a mouse created in 1974. Since then, various methods have been used to generate transgenic fish, livestock, and other species. Transgenic animals have applications in biomedical research, agriculture, and industry. They can serve as models for human disease or help produce pharmaceuticals in their milk. However, transgenesis also carries risks if the inserted gene has unintended effects on the animal's development or physiology.
CRISPR-Cas9 is a gene editing technique that utilizes the Cas9 enzyme to cut DNA at specific locations guided by CRISPR RNA. It allows scientists to precisely modify genes and has applications in medicine, agriculture, and scientific research. Some examples include developing disease-resistant crops and mosquitoes, growing human organs in pigs, and potentially curing genetic diseases. While promising, CRISPR also faces ethical concerns regarding safety, unintended effects, germline editing, and unequal access to treatment. Overall, CRISPR is a revolutionary new biotechnology but more research is still needed to fully realize its benefits and address ethical implications.

a brief description on the new emerging genome editing technology CRISPR-Cas9. this technique is making its place stronger and stronger day by day. and impossible things can be possible by this technique. and some main and famous names who discovered this technique.
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are derived from adult somatic cells that have been genetically reprogrammed to an embryonic stem cell-like state. In 2006, Shinya Yamanaka and Kazutoshi Takahashi showed that the introduction of four transcription factors (Oct3/4, Sox2, c-Myc and Klf4) could convert somatic cells into iPSCs. iPSCs have similarities to embryonic stem cells in that they are pluripotent, can self-renew indefinitely, and can differentiate into various cell types. iPSCs hold promise for applications in regenerative medicine, disease modeling, drug discovery, and personalized medicine.
Dr. Al Sears explains the Nobel Prize winning breakthrough telomere technology. This opened the way for Harvard researcher, Dr. Ronal DePinho to find a way to activate telomerase. Telomerase is the enzyme that signals your telomeres to grow longer, unfortunately, it shuts down while you are still in your mother's womb.
Once Nobel Prize winning research identified that telomeres are the protective tips at each end of the strands of your DNA, and as your cells replicate, gradully your telomeres grow shorter. They are the "aging-clocks" inside your DNA.
Once Dr. DePinho found a way to reactivate the telomerase enzyme, he turned old mice into young mice again.
Not long after, scientists discovered ways to do this in humans as well, and today, the discovery of the telomere and telomerase are the most important anti-aging breakthrough of our time.
CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) is a family of DNA sequences found within the genomes of prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria and archaea. These sequences are derived from DNA fragments of bacteriophages that have previously infected the prokaryote and are used to detect and destroy DNA from similar phages during subsequent infections. Hence these sequences play a key role in the antiviral defense system of prokaryotes.
Cas9 (CRISPR-associated protein 9) is an enzyme that uses CRISPR sequences as a guide to recognize and cleave specific strands of DNA that are complementary to the CRISPR sequence. Cas9 enzymes together with CRISPR sequences form the basis of a technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 that can be used to edit genes within organisms.This editing process has a wide variety of applications including basic biological research, development of biotechnology products, and treatment of diseases.
The CRISPR-Cas system is a prokaryotic immune system that confers resistance to foreign genetic elements such as those present within plasmids and phages that provides a form of acquired immunity. RNA harboring the spacer sequence helps Cas (CRISPR-associated) proteins recognize and cut foreign pathogenic DNA. Other RNA-guided Cas proteins cut foreign RNA. CRISPR are found in approximately 50% of sequenced bacterial genomes and nearly 90% of sequenced archaea.
This document provides an overview of CRISPR-Cas9 technology. It defines CRISPR as DNA sequences in bacteria that contain snippets of viral DNA used to detect and destroy invading viruses. The CRISPR system contains Cas9 proteins that cut DNA at specific locations guided by RNA, and RNA guide molecules. It works by integrating viral DNA into the bacteria's CRISPR loci, which are then transcribed into RNA to guide Cas9 to cleave invading viral DNA. Applications of CRISPR include disease modeling, cancer research, and correcting mutations in human embryos.
The document summarizes a seminar presentation on CRISPR gene editing. It discusses how CRISPR/Cas systems in bacteria provide adaptive immunity by integrating fragments of viral DNA. It then describes some applications of CRISPR technology, including inactivating genes in human and other cells, modifying crops and mosquitoes. Recent developments include licensing of CRISPR kits and using CRISPR/Cas9 to introduce targeted mutations in model organisms and cell lines. Chinese researchers also used CRISPR/Cas9n to produce cattle with increased resistance to bovine tuberculosis by inserting a new gene.

Many bacterial clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)–CRISPR-associated (Cas) systems employ the dual RNA–guided DNA endonuclease Cas9 to defend against invading phages and conjugative plasmids by introducing site-specific double-stranded breaks in target DNA. Target recognition strictly requires the presence of a short protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) flanking the target site, and subsequent R-loop formation and strand scission are driven by complementary base pairing between the guide RNA and target DNA, Cas9–DNA interactions, and associated conformational changes. The use of CRISPR–Cas9 as an RNA-programmable
DNA targeting and editing platform is simplified by a synthetic single-guide RNA (sgRNA) mimicking the natural dual trans-activating CRISPR RNA (tracrRNA)–CRISPR RNA (crRNA) structure
An Introduction to Crispr Genome Editing
Crispr cas: A new tool of genome editing
CRISPRs (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) are part of an adaptive defense mechanism in bacteria and archaea. Use of the CRISPR/Cas9 system for genome editing has been a major technological breakthrough, making genome modification in cells or organisms fast, more efficient, and much more robust than previous genome editing methods. Single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) or guide RNAs (gRNAs) direct and activate the Cas9 endonuclease at a specific genomic sequence. Cas9 then cleaves the target DNA, making it available for repair by the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) system or for creating an insertion site for exogenous donor DNA by homologous recombination.
This document summarizes a seminar given on CRISPR technology. It discusses the history of CRISPR research from its discovery in bacteria in 1987 to its development as a genome editing tool in 2012. Key events and applications are outlined, including the founding of early biotech companies utilizing CRISPR. The core concepts of how CRISPR induces double strand breaks and DNA repair are explained. Recent advances in engineered Cas9 variants and discovery of Cpf1 are also summarized.

This document provides an overview of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. It discusses the history and limitations of prior genome engineering techniques like recombinant DNA and zinc finger nucleases. It then explains how CRISPR/Cas9 works as a RNA-guided DNA endonuclease and how this allows it to efficiently and specifically edit genomes. The document outlines several applications of CRISPR/Cas9 like generating knockout animals and cell lines. It also notes some concerns about using the technique for human genome editing.
Have you considered that protein over-expression or inefficient mRNA knockdown may be masking physiological effects in your assays? Increasingly scientists are moving to endogenous gene-editing to characterise the function of their genes of interest.
Dr Chris Thorne from Cambridge Biotech Horizon Discovery discusses the ground breaking gene-editing technology CRISPR. The simplicity of experimental design has led to rapid adoption of the technology across the scientific community. However, challenges remain.
This Slidedeck focuses specifically on implementing CRISPR experiments, and explore a number of key considerations crucial to maximising chances of targeting success, whether your goal is to generate a knock-out or a knock-in. Chris also takes a look at some of the alternative uses of CRISPR, including sgRNA genome wide synthetic lethality screens.
The slides aim to support those researchers either planning to or already using CRISPR gene-editing in their lab. Horizon Discovery have also recently launched a program aimed specifically at academic cell biologists to promote the adoption of CRISPR by offering FREE CRISPR Reagents for knock-out cell line generation - more information available here. http://www.horizondiscovery.com/what-we-do/discovery-toolbox/genassist-crispr--raav-genome-editing-tools
This document describes an experiment to test the effectiveness of different bacterial transformation mixes in CRISPR-Cas9 systems. The standard transformation mix contains calcium chloride while the experimental mix adds polyethylene glycol and dimethyl sulfoxide. Bacteria are made competent using each mix and transformed with CRISPR components before plating. Preliminary results showed more growth with the standard mix, but the experimental mix supported slightly more antibiotic-resistant growth. Multiple errors prevented conclusions, requiring further replication and controls.
CRISPR-Cas9 is a powerful tool for genome engineering. The document provides guidance on using CRISPR-Cas9 to modify genomes. It describes: 1) Designing single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) to target specific gene loci using online tools; 2) Constructing plasmids expressing Cas9 and sgRNAs; 3) Validating plasmid function using assays like Surveyor nuclease; and 4) Transfecting cells, isolating clones, and further validating genome edits through sequencing. The goal is to use this method to precisely modify genomes for research applications.
CRISPR/Cas9 is a powerful new technique for genome editing that allows DNA to be easily cut and modified. It involves using the Cas9 enzyme, guided by RNA, to create targeted double-stranded breaks in DNA which are then repaired, allowing the DNA sequence to be altered. This system was adapted from a bacterial immune system. CRISPR/Cas9 represents a major breakthrough as it is simpler, cheaper and more accurate than previous genome editing methods. It has already been used to edit genes in numerous organisms and holds promise for applications like correcting genetic diseases. However, off-target effects and ethical concerns surrounding its use in humans remain limitations that need to be addressed.

It discusses the history of CRISPR, how CRISPR functions in bacteria, the classification and components of CRISPR systems, and the mechanism of CRISPR cas9. It then covers applications of CRISPR cas9 in genome editing, databases of CRISPR sequences, case studies using the technology, and future directions of CRISPR research.
The document provides an overview of gene knockout and homology-directed repair using CRISPR. It discusses designing guide RNAs and comparing delivery methods like lipofection, electroporation, and microinjection. It also covers designing repair templates for homology-directed repair to insert or change DNA sequences. Optimization of guide RNAs, delivery method, and repair template design can improve genome editing efficiency.
The CRISPR Controversy—The Debate Over Genetic ManipulationTodd Berner MD
Todd Berner gives a rundown of recent news and developments on CRISPR, a genetic manipulation tool creating a buzz in the scientific community for its potential applications and debatable ownership.
This document summarizes research analyzing the CRISPR-associated elements in two novel Propionibacterium acnes bacteriophages called Lauchelly and Attacne. Transmission electron micrographs show that the phages have a siphoviridae morphology. Genome analyses found conserved CRISPR-associated domains that may function as an anti-CRISPR mechanism. Host range tests found the phages could infect most P. acnes strains, though one strain appeared resistant to Attacne.
Bacterial Adaptive immunity, Gene drives and the genetic control of MalariaOlabode Onile-ere
This document discusses using CRISPR-Cas9 gene drive technology to genetically control malaria. It provides background on malaria, adaptive bacterial immunity, and how CRISPR works. CRISPR-Cas9 could be used to insert genes into mosquitoes that block malaria parasite development, achieving population replacement. It could also reduce mosquito reproductive fitness for population suppression. While this approach could eliminate malaria, issues around ethics, ecological effects, and the possibility of unintended outcomes require further exploration before real-world application. Gene drives hold promise but perfection of the technology and alignment with public values is needed.
This document summarizes an experiment on the effect of methyl viologen (MV) on the photoluminescence and scattering of gold nanorods. MV was added to gold nanorod solutions in concentrations of 5 mM and 1 M. The addition of MV significantly changed the scattering spectra through a red shift, widening, and slight decrease in intensity, but did not affect photoluminescence. This proves photoluminescence is more stable in electron withdrawing environments. The changes to scattering demonstrate the interaction between MV and the gold nanorods' surface plasmon resonance.
CRISPR is a new gene-editing tool that has significant promise but also requires regulation. It allows for precise editing of DNA by using guide RNA and an enzyme called Cas9. This advance enables basic scientists to create transgenic animal models, agricultural scientists to develop disease-resistant crops, and medical scientists to potentially cure and prevent genetic diseases. However, it also raises concerns about potential misuse by the military, wealthy individuals, or rogue scientists. As a result, CRISPR will be one of the biggest scientific issues of the next decade, and responsible innovation organizations should determine their stance, talk to researchers, work with governing bodies like NAS, and help convey both benefits and needed oversight of this technology.
Precision medicine for oncology requires accurate and sensitive molecular characterization. However, sample degradation, polymerase errors, and sequencing errors reduce accuracy for sequencing genetic variants. By incorporating molecular tagged adapters in target enrichment, and using DNA probes that deliver extremely even and deep coverage, we are able to demonstrate a 300-fold reduction in false positives at or above 0.25% variant frequency. In this presentation, Dr Mirna Jarosz discusses these methods and how they can significantly reduce error rates in your sequencing data.
(1) CRISPR-Cas9 is a new genetic editing technique that allows easier correction of faulty genes. It has potential for treating genetic diseases but also raises ethical concerns.
(2) The document discusses using CRISPR-Cas9 to edit somatic/adult cells (acceptable) vs germline/embryonic cells (controversial). Editing germline cells could affect future generations and paves the way for "designer babies".
(3) The proposed position is to continue CRISPR-Cas9 research on animals and adult cells but support a moratorium on human germline/embryonic editing and a permanent ban due to safety issues and concerns about human
CRISPR technology allows for genome editing using a prokaryotic immune system called CRISPR/Cas. The system works by adapting spacers from viral DNA, producing CRISPR RNA, and targeting matching sequences. It is being applied in industry to make bacterial cultures virus-resistant, in labs for genetic engineering, and in medicine for treating genetic diseases and developing more specific antibiotics.

daha bir çok sebepten dolayı bilim dünyasında
etiklik tartışmalarına sebep olmuştur.

9. CRISPR Neden Etik ?
Bazı bilim insanları insan üzerindeki genetik değişikliklerin başta
genetik hastalıkları yok etmek olmak üzere çok parlak bir geleceği
olduğunu düşünmekte kistik fibroz, orak-hücre anemisi, Huntington
hastalığı gibi kalıtsal hastalıkları tamamen ortadan kaldırabilir. Hem
de tek bir nesil değil, ailenin tüm genetik hattı bu hastalıklardan
arındırılabilecek.
Araştırmacılar bu sayede hastalıklara etkili çözümler
geliştirilebileceğini, dayanıklı bitkiler yetiştirilebileceğini ve hastalık
nedeni olabilecek patojenler ile etkili mücadele edileceğini
düşünüyor.
Aşırı avlanma sonucu soyu tükenmiş olan hayvanların yeniden
Dünya’da boy göstermelerine olanak sağlaması. Örneğin Kaliforniya
Üniversitesi’nden Ben Novak bir zamanlar sayıca çok bol olan ve ne
yazık ki aşırı avlanma sonucu 10 yüzyılın sonlarında soyu tükenen
posta güvercinlerini (Ectopistes migratorius) bu yöntemle yeniden
yaşama döndürmeye çalışıyor 9
10. CRISPR Neden Etik ?
Harvard Tıp Fakültesi’nde kök hücre üzerine çalışmalar
yapan George Daley, sadece bilimsel sonuçlara ulaşmak için
bu tarz çalışmalar yapılabileceğini savunuyor.
Dr. Wilson, CRISPR’ın eninde sonunda tedavi ve terapi
alanında yaygın kullanılacağanı, bu bakımdan son yıllardaki
en harika gelişme olduğunu belirtiyor.
Tarım alanında da devrim yaratacak; çeşitli, besin değeri
yüksek ve ucuz maliyette üretimlerin yapılması.
Embriyo üzerinde yapılan çalışmalarla ilerleyen yıllarda
tamamen sağlıklı ve istenilen fenotiplerde insanların
oluşturalabileceği.
“Bilimlerindeki çalışmalara büyük bir ivme kazandırdı.”(Dr.
Schimenti)

Sangamo Biosciences’dan Edward Lanphier konuyla ilgili olarak
“Geçtiğimiz aylarda söylediğimiz şeylerin
önemi ortaya çıkmış oldu. Bu çalışmayı durdurmalı
ve oturup ne yöne gittiğimizi tartışmalıyız” diyor.
Manchester Üniversitesi’nde biyoetik üzerine
çalışan John Harris ise, bu çalışmanın tüp bebek merkezlerin de
yapılanlar kadar kötü olduğunu savunuyor: “Doğuma uygun
olmayan embriyolar tüp bebek merkezlerinde imha edilmekte
zaten. Bu çalışmanın durdurulması için bir sebep göremiyorum” diye
ekliyor.
CRISPR uygulamaları genetik materyalin hedefli yere
yönlendirilmesi başarılmış ancak çeşitli mutasyonların da bunun
yanında gerçekleştiği saptanmıştır. Huang bu sebeple kolay
uygulanan CRISPR/Cas9 tekniği yerine, daha az mutasyona sebep
olan TALEN tekniğinin kullanılabileceğini de söylüyor.
12. CRISPR Neden Etik Değil ?
İnsan embriyosunda yapılan çalışmalar sonucunda
beklenmemesi gereken durumlarda yapılan hataların geri
dönüşü olmayan sonuçlar doğuracağına inanılıyor.
Diğer sorun da, bitki veya böcek gibi organizmalarda yapılmış
olan değişiklikler, doğal ortamda dikkati çekmeyeceğinden, bu
GDO’lu organizmalar doğaya salındığında biyo-çeşitliliğe tehdit
oluşturması, ekosisteme zarar vermesi.
Bu tekniğin kolay uygulanması ve ucuz olmasından dolayı
kullanımının önünü alamayacak derecede yaygınlaşması ve bu
rakamlarla beraber daha çok hata ve mutayonlara sebebiyet
verip bu durumun önünün alınamaması bilim insanlarını
korkutuyor.

13. Crispr Etiklik Tartışmalarının Yorumlanması
Crispr’in insan embriyosunda kullanılması başlıca bir etik konusu
olup bu konuda ki çalışmalar için embriyonun DNA dizisinin
değiştirilmesi soy hattının da değiştirilmesi sebebiyet vereceği
henüz genom üzereindeki çalışmaların bile tam netleşmediği
halde bu tarz çalışmaların hem o canlıda hem de ilerleyen
kuşaklarda öngürelemeyen sonuçlar doğurabilir .
Bu tekniğin tarım ve hayvancılık sektöründe kullanılmasıyla
birlikte ilerleyen zaman dilimlerinde ekosisteme zarar
verebileceği endişesinden dolayı Crispr tekniğinin kullanımı etik
bulmuyorum, bu tekniğin kullanımının sınırlandırılması
gerektiğini, uzun yıllar süren klinik çalışmalar sonrasında
etkilerinin iyice tespit edildikten sonra kullanılmasını uygun
buluyorum.
