Chapters cover the discovery, basic science, and application of these techniques, focusing particularly on their potential application to the treatment of cancer, and cardiovascular and immunological disease. The final section discusses the legal and ethical issues which accompany the technology. Providing authoritative coverage of the potential that genome editing and engineer carry, this is an ideal reference for researchers and graduate students and those working in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, as well as in a clinical setting"--| Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
