Story of claim
CRISPR gene editing faces challenges in precise insertion. Advancements like base editing and delivery technology improvements are needed.
- Goal: To overcome challenges in CRISPR for precise gene editing.
- Proof: Base editing chemically modifies DNA for precision without double-strand breaks, but delivery remains a bottleneck.
- Nuances:
- Base editing uses deaminase for chemical modification
- CRISPR's delivery in the body is the main challenge
- Impact on Life: Potential to treat more genetic conditions effectively with improved precision.
Investments
- Price: Research and development costs are high
- Time: Long-term research investment required
- Effort: Complexity in achieving precise delivery and editing
Risks
Current delivery methods are limited and need improvement.
