Gene Editing and CRISPR domains!

Alrightalright · Jul 27, 2018

Any thoughts on potential value of these types of domains in the future?
I think with CRISPR and other gene editing technology making such big waves there may be some value in gene related domains

Thanks a lot for the two articles, @MrAcidic

I also noticed this one published a few days ago that covers 10 CRISPR companies that have raised reasonable amounts of cash and are projected to possibly grow strongly in coming year.

ps One of them is Synthego (based in Silicon Valley) - for those on Twitter, I find their Twitter account one of the best to follow to keep up with recent happenings in CRISPR and related science/technology. https://twitter.com/Synthego

Thanks for sharing,

With the amount money/funding going into the sector, which as you say is quite impressive. I do believe over the next few years there is going to be a very large number of start up's entering this field and they are going to need appropriate names!

Very interesting discussion, I also think biotech-related domains will get a very good value in the future. CRISPR will definitely help us enter the next era of Biology and Medical science.

@MrAcidic Thanks for sharing the articles!

I can see more article published related to CRISPR recently.

https://explorebiotech.com/crispr-pros-and-cons/

I should look for more domains related to gene editing and crispr.

I regged gene/editing dot io a week ago and was shocked. Also tech advances exponentially not linearly so that means itll be a decade at most before it really booms not several decades...

Btw I deliberately did not reg anything with “Crispr” in it I assumed its a trademark without searching but I may be wrong hence my focus on gene/editing

I believe that since the scientific acronym CRISPR was first published and used in multiple scientific papers publicly available that the simple acronym is not available to be trademarked (same as DNA for example). Some combination would be of another word plus. I might be wrong but that is my understanding.

The domain name CRISPR in com sold for more than $25,000 several years ago and is held by a Massachusettes dermatologist who also invests in domains. A branch of DuPont hold several others. I have it in the .science extension (and a number of others). It sold in .io a month or so ago.

I would be interested in hearing viewpoints on whether future domain sales in this niche are likely to be around the acronym CRISPR, the term gene editing, more generally DNA or genetics etc. I have no clear opinion at this point.

Also do you think most future domain interest will be health related, or other applications of CRISPR?

Good question....My personal view would be , using the words "gene" "dna" "editing" etc - these can be used more in a brandable sense meaning IMO more selling opportunities to end users

I have high hopes of the agriculture applications of genetic editing in the farming industry - this can be with the CRISPR term or generic usage.....but I am leaning to the more generic applications (see above) from a resale proposition

Some interesting reads below (might not be on topic!)

You guys should take a look at the pix below.

@MrAcidic the names I'm coming across on twitter are not generic in nature; i mean coys in the gene editing space.

Bob Hawkes · Sep 16, 2018

It is only a sample of 10 high worth CRISPR startups, but for them ( here is link again) words including either bioscience or therepeutics appear multiple times, but not DNA or CRISPR. I think it is because two of the big three established players use those terms. Made up words also common to several.

farouk20 · Sep 16, 2018

@MetBob yes i saw the article. Eventually i believe many if not most, will go for made up words like Editas, inscriptas , but i wont be surprised seeing startups like Crisprtech or Crisprhealth as the innovation becomes more widespread and commonplace

Bob Hawkes · Sep 16, 2018

I wonder if generic terms, at least the ones they can afford, might find a market more in the space for industry associations, consultants, think tanks and policy groups, convention domains, journal or book sites. That is my rationale for holding names like CRISPR in review and space for example, hoping to get low $$$ for them.

farouk20 · Sep 16, 2018

@MetBob nobody can see the future. But i assure you Crispr will be huge. The chinese are in, the koreans too. Infact most of the crispr + keyword is with the east.

Back to your question :
Ofcourse.
Crispr is the single most disruptive tech that will change the way humans are and yet many do not still see it yet. It will tranverse human health, agriculture, etc.

So i say hold on 2019 will be the pointer .

I just came across a new podcast devoted to CRISPR and related topics. The first episode seems good, and I plan to keep listening:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/carl-zimmer/id1434115281

It's Synthego related so potential for bias, but the one episode (of two so far) I listened too seems balanced to me.

Bob Hawkes · Sep 20, 2018

While not directly CRISPR, I did notice a couple of domain names sold in the latest NameBio daily report that are broadly in topic.

biomedicine(.)online sold for $500 on Sedo

(biosciences is used by early startups in CRISPR, possibly biomedicine will emerge as well since it is more correct for applications that are in health with CRISPR).

DNAverified(.)com sold for $104 on GoDaddy

The latter is more likely related to forensic or familial use of DNA, and the sale amount is pretty disappointing. On GoDaddy likely from one domainer to another, I speculate.

Bob Hawkes · Sep 20, 2018

This was published some months ago but just came across it. Even though most domain name interest will be in the small startups and companies/organizations that will use CRISPR, still good to keep tabs on how the big three in the space are doing.

"Intellia (NTLA), Editas (EDIT), and CRISPR Therapeutics (CRSP) grew rapidly in the last year, reaching market caps of ~$900M, ~$1.5B, and ~$2.1B, respectively, and all holding cash positions of ~$200-300M as of Q4 2017."

The link to the full post at Seeking Alpha (an investment site) is here.

TechCrunch published this a few days ago re CRISPR techniques seem closer to being able to edit RNA (instead of DNA). This would remove some of the possible negative effect concerns. Not sure if domain implications as currently RNA much less well known to general public.

ThatNameGuy · Sep 23, 2018

Bob....you really are quite the instigator

Your post almost made me register the name AncestryRNA. It's still availabe, but a domain referencing Genetics and RNA has now been registered. Thanks, and Cheers!

Bob Hawkes · Sep 23, 2018

I am much more sure that CRISPR is the biggest scientific development of the (decade?) than I am that much domain money is to be made with it. While CRISPR is already huge in science research and bio startups, I find it hard to predict when, or if, it will become something where the demand for thousands of names by local medical clinics using CRISPR as a diagnostic or treatment will ever happen, and if it does what words will predominate.

Ancestry is of course a well established field with multiple significant domain name sales (although privacy concerns may place some limits on future growth). I do own a few names in that space. I don't know the biology well enough, but I think ancestry/genetics will link with DNA only, not RNA (RNA mainly plays a role in transfer, as opposed to storing genetic codes - here is a good short article on RNA). But health/medical it would appear could benefit hugely if the near RNA proof of concept.

I think whether we come to see CRISPR widely used in prevention and cure of genetic related disorders depends on the following being either shown to not being significant or be mitigated/solved:

Are we sure that it does not have potential to do significant harm? (the recent articles point to possible issues)
Can society agree on what is ethical to do and what is not?

This whole area is not akin to things that reach the consumer space (well I know there are CRISPR kits being sold to consumers, but...) so can't be directly compared to investing in many tech trends.

I admit that I have begun searching around the RNA domain space, but am inclined to think I won't buy any domains with that term personally.

Bob

ps @Bulloney thanks for your comment, but also remember my strategy advice about waiting on domain ideas to feel sure after thinking about a name for a few days.

Maybe I should append that to everything I post on NPs!

It appears the exact match acronym CRISPR in .io sold for $509 at Park IO (14 bids).

https://park.io/auctions/view/crispr.io

Does anyone know of other sales of the exact match acronym CRISPR in other extensions? (other than the sale in .com for more than $25,000)?

CRISPR.com sold for $ 75,000 at godaddy.com
