In 2016, for example, researchers reported that they had created a CRISPR /
Cas9 gene drive that forces a fertility - reducing
gene modification into female Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes — which could quickly reduce local Anopheles populations if unleashed in the wild.
With the advent of new, more efficient, and targeted
gene - editing techniques such as CRISPR /
Cas9,
gene modifications can, in principle, be spread throughout a population of living organisms intentionally and quickly via a
gene drive, circumventing traditional rules of inheritance and greatly increasing the odds that an altered
gene spreads throughout a population.
The sequential processes of somatic cell reprogramming to create patient - specific hiPS cells, CRISPR /
Cas9 gene editing, and single - cell cloning uniquely enable researchers to study how a specific genetic
modification can influence function.
We also demonstrate the feasibility of
Cas9 / gRNA - mediated multiple
gene modifications in primary cells.
These findings encouraged us to explore the possibility of establishing a
Cas9 / gRNA - based
gene modification platform for large animals.
