The tests on human genes are expensive and controversial, and no one is quite sure whether gene changes will have their desired effect. Many experts predict that engineering the human genome is inevitable. Many scientist take a step back when accessing the hands of GOD.
One of the Canadian startup company, Deep Genomics claims it has developed a computer program that can play out the different possible effects of genetic manipulation based on computers’ deep learning. It use CRISPR/Cas9, an enzyme that has made it easier than ever for scientists to target a particular strand of DNA, snip part of it out, and replace it.
For us to understanding how genes work is complicated because they exist in a dialogue with other genes, turning each other off or on and generating different molecules for the body to use. Researchers have been trying to understand these relationships to better treat medical conditions from cancer to schizophrenia, but the web of gene seems to be too complicated for us to understand.
