Two geneticists explain the groundbreaking CRISPR-based therapies approved for sickle-cell disease and β-thalassaemia, and other genetic therapeutics in development, including base-editing and prime-editing.

The human genome contains ca. 20,000 genes that are used for the construction of proteins. Actions of these classical genes are coordinated by thousands of regulatory genes, the smallest of which encode microRNA molecules that are 22 base pairs in length. Read further on Dynamite News:

Deleting a single base-pair from the genome of plants like cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, tomato, and rice can make them male-sterile, leading to an abundant harvest of hybrid seeds. This is due to a process called heterosis, which is enabled by the fine balance of the Ms-cd1 protein's levels. The mutation's…
