In the 1950s, the structure of DNA was discovered by using models and x-ray chromatography. Currently, science has used advanced technology to completely map out the genes in a human’s body. What would be the best advantage of using this information?

Gene therapy is a method of introducing nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) into the cells of an organism to correct an abnormality, such as a mutation, causing a pathology. It is often a question of bringing a normal and functional gene (transgene) into a cell where the present gene is altered. Another method can bring RNA capable of partially regulating or blocking the expression of an altered gene.
The nucleic acids are introduced into the patient's cells by means of a viral vector or injected directly into the cells in the form of naked DNA. New genomic editing methods (CRISPR-Cas9) can also be used to modify the genome.
