Title: Some questions
Post by: duhherro on October 06, 2012, 08:29:05 pm

Hey AN, just got a few questions concerning gene therapy.

Could anyone just give me a brief rundown of the methods in gene therapy and
not quite sure what tools (technology) are used and their roles in the process.

Thanks in advance!

Gene therapy is the process by which a faulty allele in an organism replaced by the normally functioning allele of the gene concerned. This allows normal functioning protein to be produced and can be used to treat inherited disorders by targeting the genotype.

Technology used in this process: see here
