Gene Editing and CRISPR domains!

[Alrightalright]

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

looks like someone bought primeediting.com yesterday for 3,888 USD

Been a while since anyone posted in here........found the below a very good read.....

After the Nobel, what next for Crispr gene-editing therapies?

Victoria is right to an extent.

I have been in this area for a few years (with Crispr domains) and have had NO offers for any.
Most I have dropped and sold at auction. Had crisprkit(s).com and tried to sell to the-odin but even he knew that direct navigation is dead and was totally uninterested. In most if not all respects, you have some Very intelligent people working in this field.
.

I agree @rcs1973 that so far sales of domain names in Gene Editing / CRISPR have been few and generally at not impressive amounts, except for CRISPR.com that apparent went for $25,000 plus. My point had been with respect to the impression that at least I got from @Victoria897 's post that only hugely funded companies can work in CRiSPR. Anyway, thanks so much for sharing your experiences trying to sell domain names in the field.

Interestingly the exact word DNA has only ever (on NameBio at least) sold 3 times, all in 2018 and twice this month (including yesterday). The two ngTLD are for smallish amounts (in .news and .life) but it sold in .io for $7022 earlier in the year which is an impressive sale even for .io.

Domains including the word "genetic" have sold 6 times (5 in .com) so far in 2018, with an average price of $1218.

No CRISPR sales so far in 2018, although I see that the .io in auction has bids with still some days to go.

Anyway, totally agree with your point that so far the names have not been lucrative to handle.

Lots of great information in this thread!
Thanks All. I was hoping that a better EU ruling would have come out and also helped things. But unfortunately they went a different direction. (Using GMO regulations which is very innovation limiting in comparison to the FDA’s decision)
I’m liking the different possibilities though and am thinking the agriculture/Crop/seed/drug/health type gene domains will hopefully provide us some mid to big bucks in the next couple to several years! I recommend everyone look into it, even if only for gaining that personal knowledge. It really does get pretty fascinating

I see that now less than 24 hr left in the Park io auction on CRISPR in the .io extension. Currently 8 bids and $355 price. Will be interesting to see what it ends at!

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

To my knowledge the only other exact acronym CRISPR sale was the .com at more than $25,000.

Just for information someone in an appraisal thread has asked for advice regarding a CRISPR trial domain name, in case some of the experts who follow this thread want to chime in.

https://www.namepros.com/threads/crisprtrial-com.1094706/

 

[Alrightalright]

That was me and I started this thread as well haha

Ended up just closing the appraisal one though, as the only informative response on it was from you anyway.

 

[Bob Hawkes]

I should have noticed who started the threads, @Alrightalright ! Anyway, it is great to have at least some discussion of genetic editing. While as a science it is already well established, I feel that in terms of domain names it is a bit early. Yes there are many research groups, and research oriented companies, and existing companies developing CRISPR expertise, but we have not yet got to the state of a large number of clinics etc. that are basically users of CRISPR but want to promote that in their domain name. I follow the scientific and ethical developments, and hope to be able to keep my domain names long enough to find sellers! Best of luck to you with yours as well.

 

[NickB]

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.

https://explorebiotech.com/10-crispr-startups-to-watch-2018/

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!

I can see more article published related to CRISPR recently.

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

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!)

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.

@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 .

 

[Kamaldeen]

I own Geneeditingworld.com

 

[Kamaldeen]

Ok..come back in 2025

That is barely 10 years to come...
I will hold

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]

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.

 

[ThatNameGuy]

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!

my one and only.

Lets hope for good fortune of start up adaption, and not too many clones into gtld , hehe
