This book succinctly reviews and describes genome editing tools such as ZFNs, CRISPR, megaTALs and TALENs. It covers the history, principles, applications and the advantages and disadvantages of each tool. The book provides an approachable outline enhancing science education in schools and universities by demystifying genome editing technologies. \u003cp\u003eGenome-editing methods are becoming routine tools for molecular and cell biologists. Such tools include ZFNs, CRISPR, megaTALs and TALENs. These tools are revolutionizing the creation of precisely manipulated genomes to modify the characteristics of organisms or cells. Additionally, gene drives have altered the way we understand inheritance laws. They give us the ability to have total control of the inheritance of traits of choice and importance. This succinct volume summarizes the history, principles and applications – as well as the advantages and disadvantages – of each of these tools and various kinds of gene drives. The book is part of a program to produce books helpful to students and faculties of science at colleges and universities. This volume in the \u003ci\u003ePocket Guides to Biomedical Sciences \u003c\/i\u003eseries will help demystify these technologies. The book fills the gap between established conventional methods and the novel and exciting newly introduced tools of genome editing and gene drives. It will help young scientists understand the emerging genome-editing tools and gene drives, thereby promoting related research and adoption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Features\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtensively reviews the current genome-editing tools and gene drives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarifies the targeting mechanisms and specificity of genome-editing tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetails many different types of natural and synthetic gene drives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighlights concerns with gene drives and genome-editing tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelated Titles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrown, T.
