5th International Conference on Genome Editing and Gene Therapy

“5th International Conference on Genome Editing and Gene Therapy” will be held in Osaka, Japan during August 19-20, 2020. Major attractions of this event would revolve around keynote presentations, oral presentations and poster presentations. This year we are focusing on the theme “Innovation Techniques Involved in Genetics and Genome Summaries". Genome editing, or genome engineering, or gene editing, is a type of genetic engineering in which DNA is inserted, deleted, modified or replaced in the genome of a living organism. Unlike early genetic engineering techniques that randomly inserts genetic material into a host genome, genome editing targets the insertions to site specific locations. In 2018, the common methods for such editing used engineered nucleases, or "molecular scissors". These nucleases create site-specific double-strand breaks (DSBs) at desired locations in the genome. The induced double-strand breaks are repaired through nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) or homologous recombination (HR), resulting in targeted mutations ('edits').

 

Genome editing with engineered nucleases, i.e. all three major classes of these enzymes—zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) and engineered meganucleases—were selected by Nature Methods as the 2011 Method of the Year. The CRISPR-Cas system was selected by Science as 2015 Breakthrough of the Year.
 

In May 2019, lawyers in China reported, in light of the purported creation by Chinese scientist He Jiankui of the first gene-edited humans (see Lulu and Nana controversy), the drafting of regulations that anyone manipulating the human genome by gene-editing techniques, like CRISPR, would be held responsible for any related adverse consequences. A cautionary perspective on the possible blind spots and risks of CRISPR and related biotechnologies has been recently discussed, focusing on the stochastic nature of cellular control processes.

 

Meetings International (Meetings Int.) is a worldwide leader in delivering top quality conferences, gatherings, workshops and symposia in every single significant field of science, technology and medicine. Since its origin, Meetings Int. has been related with national and global affiliations, corporations and elevated level people, dedicated to have world class conferences and events. Meetings Int. supports broad scope research and friend survey at a broad range of specialists around the world. The key strategic objective of Meetings Int. is to communicate science and medical research between academia, and industry. Through motivating sessions and huge amounts of networking, you will figure out how to be much more nervy and strong than you are presently and allowed to develop your mind, develop your business, and develop your primary concern. We can soothe you of the time and asset depleting components of the occasions that you intend to hold. From wanting to planning, through and through; we will be there to guarantee you take the awards for one more splendid program. We organize conferences world-wide. All major conferences of Meetings International are accredited with Continuing Professional Development (CPD), Continuing Education (CE), and Continuing Medical Education (CME) Credits.
