Question

define genome editing and its medical applications ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Genome editing is the introduction of a desired change to the sequence of genomic DNA of a living organism using engineered nucleases, and is driving a revolution in the biomedical sciences

Answer 2

Answer:

Genome editing is a way of making specific changes to the DNA of a cell or organism. An enzyme cuts the DNA at a specific sequence, and when this is repaired by the cell a change or ‘edit’ is made to the sequence.

Applications:

Genome editing technology is a technique for targeted genetic modifications, enabling the knockout and addition of specific DNA fragments. This technology has been widely used in various types of biomedical research, clinics and agriculture.
