The Future of CRISPR is already here

The Future of CRISPR is already here

for better or worse - from Gary Doolittle

CRISPR is an amazing new technology that was 'given' to us once again by evolutionary processes designed to protect bacterial genetic integrity. It has come readily packaged in small units some even small enough to be contained in viruses that infect bacteria.

If you want to get a basic understanding of the technology look at this New Scientist article -- a magazine everyone should be reading!

Scientist and ethicists are already deeply concerned about he implications of this technology and there are many forums discussing the issues including this one from the AAMC - they even mention the mosquito ideas here..
