7-22-2015 Easy DNA Editing Will Remake the World
The stakes, however, have changed. Everyone at the Napa meeting had access to a gene-editing technique called Crispr-Cas9. The first term is an acronym for “clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats,” a description of the genetic basis of the method; Cas9 is the name of a protein that makes it work. Technical details aside, Crispr-Cas9 makes it easy, cheap and fast to move genes around--any genes, in any living thing, from bacteria to people. https://www.wired.com/2015/07/crispr-dna-editing-2/
