CRISPR-/Cas9 Based Genome Editing for Treating Genetic Disorders and Diseases

<p>The CRISPR-Cas9 genome-editing system is creating a revolution in the science world. In the laboratory CRISPR-Cas9 can efficiently be used to target specific genes correct mutations and regulate gene expression of a wide array of cells and organisms including human cells. <em>CRISPR-/Cas9 Based Genome Editing for Treating Genetic Disorders and Diseases</em> is a unique reading material for college students academicians and other health professionals interested in learning about the broad range of applications of CRISPR/Cas9 genetic scissors. Some topics included in this book are: the role of the CRISPR/Cas9 system in neuroscience gene therapy epigenome editing genome mapping cancer virus infection control strategies regulatory challenges and bioethical considerations.</p>
