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 .
