On the 18th February 2021, Mr.Harmand Ali, Assistant Lecturer in Department of Biology Education, presented a seminar which focused on how scientists are eager finding a suitable way to control and modify DNA. A gene editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 offers the potential for substantial improvement over other gene editing technologies, as it is simple to use, inexpensive and has a relatively high degree of precision and efficiency. These characteristics have led many in the scientific and business communities to assert that CRISPR-Cas9 will lead to groundbreaking advances in many fields, including agriculture, energy, ecosystem conservation, and the investigation, prevention, and treatment of diseases. Genome editing, mainly in HSC, might be the key of finding answers to many scientific and genetic diseases!
