Gene Editing. A growing international journal.

Special Issue on COVID-19 ( call for manuscripts)

The Gene Editing journal: Young, open, and free!

“Gene Editing” is a peer-reviewed journal, which is publishing in all fields of genetic modification techniques including gene editing, genome editing, gene correction, gene therapy, gene correction in rare diseases, engineered immunotherapies, CRISPR-Cas9, nucleases including but not limited to TALENs and ZFNs, human genetics, genetically modified organisms, gene editing in molecular pathways involved in gene repair, and gene biology with scientific originality, medical importance, and significant conclusions.

The novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) is a highly infectious acute respiratory disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Related Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). Today, over five million cases around the world have been declared. The emergence and outbreak of the novel coronavirus have highlighted the urgent need for fast, sensitive, stable, easy-to-produce and target-specific novel therapeutic technologies for surveillance and treatment.

This Special Issue aims to bring together gene editing approaches such as

CRISPR-Cas12/13-based SHERLOCK, DETECTR, CARVER and PAC-MAN,
Anti-sense oligonucleotides and anti-sense peptide nucleic acids,
Ribozymes and Aptamers
RNAi silencing therapies
to diagnose or target circulating SARS-CoV-2 infection. Thus, the robust DNA or RNA based technologies that can revolutionize diagnostic and therapies to fight COVID-19 with a highly specific, stable and efficient way will be collectively discussed as alternative biotechnological drugs in the future to conventional vaccines and drugs.
