The “CRISPR revolution” is a technology that allows usto “edit” or modify the genes in human eggs/embryos
What kinds of changes can be attained by editing of the gene?

Within a species we can isolate genetic variantsthat produce extreme variations in phenotype

What kinds of traits with a genetic basis vary among individuals of a species?
Clearly complicated traits, consisting of many parts have a genetic basis and can be inherited – nevertheless under normal circumstances, in outbred populations, we don’t see simple inheritance patterns of behavior.

What kinds of traits with a genetic basis vary among individuals of a species?
One reason is that many traits are “complex traits” governed by the actions of multiple genes working as an ensemble. Individual genes may contribute very very little to the overall trait

What does it mean when scientists say we all have “the same genes” and yet clearly we don’t have “identical genes”?
What is this “gene” and what does it really do?
![Page 14: An Introduction to Genome Editing - University of Utah · 2019-11-21 · An Introduction to Genome Editing.

We inherit one complete set of genes (called a genome) from each parent – in the form of 23 chromosomes – each
chromosome is a single very very very long molecule of DNA
Each DNA molecule is a linear array of only 4 letters! The key is the ordering of these letters.
The human genome contains DNA with a continuous linear arrangement of 3 billion letters (3,000,000,000)

What does it mean when scientists say we all have “the same genes” and yet clearly we don’t have “identical genes”?
What is this “gene” and what does it really do?
A gene is a portion of a DNA molecule with a particular function. It is information governing what protein (or RNA) might be made, under what conditions, when, where, how much

The DNA sequence of a gene encodes a linear array of subcomponents (amino acids) of a protein. The gene sequence
is copied into mRNA and the mRNA is decoded

The DNA sequence of a gene encodes a linear array of subcomponents (amino acids) of a protein –
This determines the structure, folding, and activity of a protein

A letter change in the DNA sequence can change one amino acid of a protein
having an effect on the structure, folding, or activity of a protein

Indeed a change in a single amino acid of a single protein is largely responsible for pigmentation differences in humans

Variation in our DNA sequences contributes to variation in the population. We all have the same genes – generally we make the
same proteins. But our genes encode proteins with slightly different
structures or activities or with differences in expression
