These modifications regulate gene expression without changing the sequence or structure of DNA. The CRISPR gene editing system consists of the Cas9 enzyme, which serves as molecular scissors to cleave double-stranded DNA, and a guide RNA template targeted to a specific genomic sequence, which allows for precise editing.

Because these modifications occur not in, but on top of genes, they are called epigenetic, from the Greek epi “over” or “above” the genes. The chemical modifications that regulate gene activity are called epigenetic markers. Cas9 is the protein used in the gene editing process called CRISPR.

Much of the fundamental groundwork for genetics and genomic research was laid in the 20 th century, with significant contributions from women scientists, some of whom worked during times when acceptance of female researchers was not widespread. The marriage ended in divorce after a few short years. Marie Maynard Daly: Breaking Barriers.

UCSF scientists found that having an additional copy of the sex chromosome gives women two “doses” of a gene found only on that chromosome. To further confirm these results, the scientists deleted the second X in female Alzheimer’s mice, which led them to be more cognitively impaired like males and die faster. The Active Gene.
