What is…arrow_forwardSome people have argued that editing the genomes of human embryos is ethically defensible as long as the embryos are not allowed to develop past an early stage and thus will never result in the birth of genetically modified humans. Others have argued that no genome editing should be carried out on human embryos. Present arguments for and against using genome editing on human embryos.arrow_forwardGenetically modified Atlantic salmon have recently been approved for human consumption. These genetically modified Atlantic salmon have a growth hormone gene from the Chinook salmon which allows them to grow to market size in double the time. This was possible because of CRISPR/Cas9 technology. From what you know about gene editing and CRISPR/Cas9, name 2 components of the technology that had to be introduced into the Atlantic salmon. Which method of DNA repair had to be used (non-homologous end joining or homology‐directed repair) to edit the Atlantic salmon genome?arrow_forward
- CRISPR/Cas9 mediated genome editing has provided an unparalleled means of manipulating the genome. Describe in 2 sentences/lines maximum what three requirements must be met in order to target a specific dsDNA break at a given site in genome of the target organism using this system?arrow_forward3).

To establish the best treatment option, doctors ask to profile the gene expression of the tumor, using a biopsy and microarray analysis. Describe the steps involved in the analysis in detail. The analysis reveals that a new gene therapy could be beneficial to the patient. Explain briefly how gene therapy could be used to cure cancer and detail how the treatment can be formulated for delivery to the patient. To prepare DNA for the gene therapy formulation, it is often important to measure the size of the molecule. Explain how this measurement can be done using agarose gel electrophoresis, taking care to detail the property of the DNA molecule at the basis of the technique. To generate large amounts of DNA to manufacture gene therapy payloads or to be able to see them on gel electrophoresis, specific sequences can be amplified by PCR. For a sequence of a 100 base pairs, calculate the number cycles of PCR required to generate 1 ng of…arrow_forward
