Abstract

Genomic engineering is direct manipulation of an organism’s genome (DNA) to alter its characteristics. It enables scientists to

• Study gene functions

• Model human diseases

• Correct mutations in diseased cells and tissues

• Control infectious diseases • Increase crop production…

The Challenge

• Most multicellular organisms’ genomes are vast. For example, each human cell contains ~ 6 billion base- pairs of DNA!

• It’s extremely time-consuming and expensive to generate precise and targeted modifications in complex genomes using conventional tools
