Gene and its expression
Genomic alterations
Changes in DNA that can be retained in cell lineages and passed to cellular descendants
Hypotheses on this target 1
Gene editing1
Silencing
Expression induction
Gene replacement therapy
Repair
Gene editing1
Conflicts between gene reading and copying may cause lasting genome injury in the intestinal lining
Where this hypothesis actsDescendants of intestinal replacement cells exposed to the proposed activity and subsequent-demand sequence
What is proposedCorrect candidate alterations and recreate them in matched baseline descendants
With whatControlled genetic model
HowConditional on identifying candidate alterations, independently correct and recreate them with editing and clone-selection controls; no validated strategy is supplied
Possible resultPossible attribution of impaired renewal and barrier recovery to retained DNA alterations
