Sta cambiando il clima politico che circonda il miglioramento genetico vegetale. Due, in particolare, le novità incoraggianti: l'articolo 9bis del Decreto Siccità, che apre la strada a 18 mesi di sperimentazione di piante da #genomeediting, e la proposta di cui si dibatte all'Europarlamento dedicata a “sicurezza alimentare e un'agricoltura dell'UE resiliente”.

#PrimeEditing is a new #GenomeEditing technology that promises to fix #SickleCellDisease-causing mutations in a curative approach. Discover more about this technology, a collaboration of #StJude and the #BroadInstitute of MIT and #Harvard. https://bit.ly/3A5CbOP

'The coming revolution in the #PreventionOfDisease and how #Britain can’t afford to ignore it

A national debate on the controversial issue is essential, but the research could immeasurably improve the lives of millions of people and their descendants

Sounds like the science community today on genome editing.

Exciting to see that the base editing strategies for gene inactivation that Pierre Billon in our lab and the Adli lab contributed to develop have been useful to engineer T cells for the treatment of a patient with T-ALL! #iSTOP #CRISPRSTOP #GenomeEditing #CRISPR #cancer

@gaetan_burgio I suspect this is going to be the 'long game' challenge for somatic in vivo #GenomeEditing field in tissues where they isn't a selective advantage to correction (i.e. metabolic)- how much is enough to meet your clinical endpoints?

But the headway made for each of these trials in terms of demonstrating safety are still hugely important...In cases like #LCA #IRDs you may also need a drug-based intervention to slow death in unedited cells.

@crisprflydesign @urnov I agree Filip on multiple fronts but I don't agree with this 'notion' of servers/instances, as it is where can gate keeping is happening, We chose a non-'academic' server so we could stay engaged with patient groups & policy makers (hopefully) when they migrate over in mass.... caste your net wide for this community!

This is the 'moving' part of #MastodonMigration that worries me most... How do we recoalesce here?

Using advanced #genomeediting technology, the scientists were able to show that two proteins (RAP01 and RAP21) are intimately linked to Malaria Parasite’s Survival. Learn more: http://ow.ly/2ygF50IizhO
