Breakthrough method means CRISPR just got a lot more relevant to human health

4/20/2016

This article discusses a new gene-editing technique called CRISPR base editing, which allows scientists to modify single nucleotides in DNA. The article highlights the research conducted by Dr. David Liu at Harvard University, who developed the technique. CRISPR base editing has the potential to correct genetic mutations at the molecular level, opening up possibilities for treating various genetic diseases. The article goes into detail about how CRISPR base editing works, its potential applications, and the ethical concerns surrounding gene editing. It concludes by outlining the scientific progress made in this field and the potential impact of CRISPR base editing on medicine and human health.
