Beschreibung
This handbook in gene editing is for novices and experts alike, as it will provide descriptive overviews of editing strategies across multiple species while also honing in on complex cases of application. Research from leaders in the fields of stem cell therapy and biology will be used to inform the work, which will focus on the major recent technological advances, including ZFN, TALEN, and CRISPR. The motif throughout the book will be gene therapy and its application in numerous fields, with an emphasis on ophthalmology, stem cells, and agriculture. The target audience will include researchers and students in genetics as well as clinicians, who will be drawn to the book by its applicability to their research and patients.
Autorenporträt
For years, Stephen Tsang has been culturing embryonic stem (ES) cells and created the first mouse model for a recessive form of retinitis pigmentosa by applying homologous recombination to ES cell technology. Two elements define his laboratory. First, by leveraging his genetics clinical practice, in which over 1000 retinal patients are cared for, he brings an array of clinical resources to his research, including stem cells and live imaging data. Second, he and his students are recognized authorities in a broad array of state-of-the-art technologies. Most recently, he was invited as a Moderator for the Gene Editing/Rewriting the Genome session during the 65th American Society of Human Genetics Annual Meeting.
