CRISPR01:59

CRISPR

Genome editing technologies allow scientists to modify an organism’s DNA via the addition, removal, or rearrangement of genetic material at specific genomic locations. These types of techniques could potentially be used to cure genetic disorders such as hemophilia and sickle cell anemia. One popular and widely used DNA-editing research tool that could lead to safe and effective cures for genetic disorders is the CRISPR-Cas9 system. CRISPR-Cas9 stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

12.3K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

CRISPR and crRNAs

16.4K
Bacteria and archaea are susceptible to viral infections just like eukaryotes; therefore, they have developed a unique adaptive immune system to protect themselves. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and CRISPR-associated proteins (CRISPR-Cas) are present in more than 45% of known bacteria and 90% of known archaea.
The CRISPR-Cas system stores a copy of foreign DNA in the host genome and uses it to identify the foreign DNA upon reinfection. CRISPR-Cas has three different...

Genomic DNA in Eukaryotes

46.6K
Eukaryotes have large genomes compared to prokaryotes. To fit their genomes into a cell, eukaryotic DNA is packaged extraordinarily tightly inside the nucleus. To achieve this, DNA is tightly wound around proteins called histones, which are packaged into nucleosomes that are joined by linker DNA and coil into chromatin fibers. Additional fibrous proteins further compact the chromatin, which is recognizable as chromosomes during certain phases of cell division.

Genome Annotation and Assembly03:36

Genome Annotation and Assembly

18.8K
The genome refers to all of the genetic material in an organism. It can range from a few million base pairs in microbial cells to several billion base pairs in many eukaryotic organisms. Genome assembly refers to the process of taking the DNA sequencing data and putting it all back together in a correct order to create a close representation of the original genome. This is followed by the identification of functional elements on the newly assembled genome, a process called genome annotation.

Summary

Public participation in genome editing governance requires better citizen deliberation strategies. Lessons from citizens

Area of Science:

  • Bioethics
  • Public Policy
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Public engagement is crucial for governing genome editing technologies.
  • Current methods of citizen deliberation may not fully inform policymaking.
  • Ensuring representative and transformative public input remains a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify effective strategies for structuring citizen deliberation in genome editing governance.
  • To enhance the contribution of public input to global policy decisions.
  • To explore methods beyond random sampling for inclusive public discourse.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of lessons learned from citizens' juries and assemblies.
  • Identification of key strategies for improving deliberative processes.

  • Focus on group-building, participant skilling, and recruitment.

    • Main Results:

    • Random sampling may not yield representative or transformative public conversations.
    • Strategies such as group-building and recruiting invested participants can improve deliberation.
    • Over-sampling marginal discourses is proposed to ensure diverse perspectives.

    Conclusions:

    • Specific strategies can significantly advance citizen deliberation in genome editing governance.
    • A more inclusive and effective global deliberative system is achievable.
    • These findings offer practical approaches for enhancing public participation in complex scientific policy.
