Edited Human or Biomedicine of the Future

In 2018, an event occurred that caused a wide resonance in the scientific community. Chinese scientist He Jiankui genetically modified the embryos of two twin girls. As a result of such an intervention, children who were immune to HIV were born. Most importantly, this genetic modification can be inherited, which means that we have entered a completely new era - the era of inherited editing of the human genome.

Until recently, intervention in human DNA was considered something from the category of fantasy, but this is already a fait there, and we can accept it and understand the possible consequences. In this regard, now, more than ever, it is worth starting to understand the processes of genetic modification, and the book of Professor Kiselev will help everyone in this. The author will tell in detail what genes and editing genome are, how this technology is used in industry and biomedicine, what are its prospects, and also answer questions:
