The video is at molecular scale, so don’t expect HD quality. Sit back and think for a moment about what you’re watching – this is really cool. | learn more
“RNA is constantly being made and recycled inside cells, so an RNA edit is not permanent. … That makes the whole process safer. If you edit RNA and make a mistake, for instance, the faulty RNA will be degraded likely […]
CRISPR was used in the US for the first time to edit a specific genetic disease out of a human embryo. Though not the first time globally, this is a real frontier of both science and ethics. It’s potentially a […]
Amy Webb makes an argument calling for the US to develop a “Biology Strategy” to address the rise of CRISPR gene editing. This is coincidentally the topic addressed in all-too-real science fiction author Daniel Suarez’s new book Change Agent, which I […]
