Gene Editing Technologies: Safety Concerns and Future Directions
‍
The safety of gene editing technologies for humans is a complex issue and is still under investigation. Some experts have raised concerns about potential risks and unintended consequences 34 41 6 24. Specifically, CRISPR gene editing carries a potential risk of large DNA insertions that could increase cancer risk due to the introduction of double-strand breaks in DNA 32 23 42 5. This risk has been observed in experimental models up to 5-6% of the time 32 23 42 5. Retrotransposition, a natural process where DNA sequences replicate and move, can be exacerbated by CRISPR 32 23 42 5. However, newer techniques like base editing and prime editing are considered safer, with much lower rates of retrotransposition events 32 23 42 5. Current safety testing for CRISPR/Cas9 often overlooks large DNA rearrangements caused by retrotransposition 32 23 42 5. Other risks of CRISPR technology include gene drive, unintended genome changes, antibiotic resistance, and the potential creation of incurable diseases 32 23 42 5.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are the most common questions about Ninja's AI Research Assistant

What is Quick Research?

Quick Research uses AI to generate fast, concise answers to your inquiries. Quick research transforms your prompt into a search query and retrieves relevant information from the web. It then filters the most important content from and provides a concise answer.

What is Deep Research?

Deep Research is an advanced AI system that is able to dive into hundreds of sources of information for comprehensive research on your topic. Built on a reasoning LLM, it's able to think like a human, building and executing a well thought out research plan.

How is Quick Research different from Deep Research?

Quick research takes your prompt and converts it into a single web search. It then retrieves the results, extracts the necessary information, and synthesizes the information into a response. Deep Research 2.0 takes this process a step further. It creates additional search queries based on your initial prompt. These additional queries broaden the scope of your question in an effort to give you more insights into your topic. Deep Research retrieves additional information, synthesizes the responses, and returns an answer to you.
