Technology can help eliminate disease mutations.

For the first time, researchers have used a genetic publishing technique called "base publishing" to modify the genome of human embryos, a step that is both enthusiastic and worrying within the scientific community. The technique would allow for, among other things, targeted modifications of individual letters of DNA, thus allowing [...] This article The first ultra-precise edition of the genome of human embryos: a breakthrough that revives the …

A further development of the gene scissors allows a targeted manipulation of human embryos. Private companies are sitting in the starting points, the professional world is alarmed

A new genetic technique allows for much more precise editing of human embryos than CRISPR, and a team of New York biochemists has advanced the process to such an extent that many experts are expressing concern about the possibility of creating "custom-made babies."
