Background
The gene engineering is also called gene splicing technology and DNA recombination technology, and is characterized by that it uses molecular genetics as theoretical basis, and uses the modern methods of molecular biology and microbiology as means, and makes the genes with different sources according to the predesigned blueprint to construct hybrid DNA molecule in vitro, then introduces it into living cell so as to change the original genetic characteristics of organism, obtain new variety and produce new product. The gene engineering technology provides a powerful means for the research of the structure and the function of the gene.
CRISPR-Cas9, a gene therapy approach that enables the treatment of a variety of diseases through DNA splicing techniques. CRISPR-Cas9 is an adaptive immune defense formed during long-term evolution of bacteria and archaea, and can be used to fight invading viruses and foreign DNA. The CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology is a technology for carrying out specific DNA modification on a target gene, and the technology is also a method for leading edges in gene editing. The gene editing technology based on the CRISPR-Cas9 shows great application prospect in the application fields of a series of gene therapies, such as blood diseases, tumors and other genetic diseases. The technical result is applied to the precise genome modification of human cells, zebrafish, mice and bacteria.
