Development of
Gene Regulation
Büşra BASIN
In the last 66 years we have discovered DNA, and we know
how it works there are machines to show how it is read. In
the last 6 years we have developed some tools and methods
to manipulate genes. In the future, there will be machines to
design unborn babies by using these methods.
We have some gene regulations. The first one is called Gene
Therapy. In 1980, we started to do that. This aim of the operation
is to cure gene diseases. And then in 2004 we started to do
Gene Doping that has improved the features of some species.
Gene regulations in 1980 and 2004 are called Somatic Gene
Regulation. These are applied in cells of higher organisation if
you benefit from it.
In 2018, the world’s first designed babies were born in China
but their doctors said that their genes have just changed to
improve them. They have immunity to HIV. They are not going
to get AIDS for the rest of their lives. Their kids will not have
AIDS either because this gene regulation is called Germline
Gene Regulation.
In 2000 “Human Genome Project” finished. Gene map
extracted. Thus, humankind can be informed about genes so
some methods and tools can be improved. In other words,
Humanity can succeed in Genes Babies in the future.
