Genetic Screens

5.8K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Gene Therapy

27.9K
Gene therapy is a technique where a gene is inserted into a person’s cells to prevent or treat a serious disease. The added gene may be a healthy version of the gene that is mutated in the patient, or it could be a different gene that inactivates or compensates for the patient’s disease-causing gene. For example, in patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) due to a mutation in the gene for the enzyme adenosine deaminase, a functioning version of the gene can be...

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Science Communication
  • Public Engagement

Background:

  • Public debates on genetic engineering (GE) are complex due to non-scientific factors.
  • This complexity discourages biotechnologists from public engagement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To inspire biotechnologists to engage with the public.
  • To provide strategies for de-problematizing genetic engineering.
  • To share personal experiences in science communication.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of personal science communication experiences.
  • Development of strategies to simplify and reframe GE discussions.
  • Encouraging peer-to-peer sharing among scientists.

Main Results:

  • Identification of key non-scientific barriers in GE public discourse.
  • Proposed methods for making GE more accessible and understandable.
  • Anecdotal evidence of successful engagement strategies.

Conclusions:

  • Biotechnologists can overcome reluctance to engage by adopting effective communication strategies.
  • De-problematizing GE is crucial for productive public dialogue.
  • Increased scientist participation can improve public understanding of GE.
