Gene Therapy Market – Gene Editing Technologies

Gene editing technologies allow the researchers to change the genetic material of an organism. This change can be due to any addition, deletion or alteration at specific location in the genome. Basically, there are three ways in which genes can be manipulated, namely:

  • Gene Insertion: This involves the addition of new attributes to a gene through the incorporation of nucleotide sequences.
  • Gene Repair: This refers to the replacement of a defective gene sequence by a functional sequence.
  • Gene Inactivation: This involves the use of specific nucleotide sequences or regulatory elements to prevent the expression of a target gene.

Table 10.1 provides information on the companies that are using / have developed proprietary gene editing technology platforms that can be applied for the production of gene therapies.
