In vivo gene editing services represent a revolutionary approach in genetic engineering, allowing for the direct modification of genes within a living organism. This technique is essential for studying gene function in a natural context, developing disease models, and creating advanced therapeutic strategies. By performing gene edits directly within the organism, researchers gain real-time insights into gene behavior and interactions, offering a comprehensive understanding of genetic functions and their implications.
Genome editing strategies. (BX Ho, et al.,2018)
In vivo gene editing involves the precise modification of DNA within the cells of a living organism. This is achieved using advanced gene-editing technologies such as CRISPR/Cas9, TALENs (Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases), and zinc finger nucleases. These tools create targeted double-strand breaks at specific locations in the genome, allowing for precise genetic modifications. The in vivo approach ensures that gene edits occur within the organism's natural environment, providing accurate and context-specific insights into gene function and potential therapeutic applications.
The process of in vivo gene editing involves several meticulous and interrelated steps:
