Download As PDF : CRISPR : A Powerful Way to Change DNA
We can change the world with genetic modification-but should we? CRISPR stands for clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats. If it sounds complicated, it is-but it's also one of the most powerful ways we can shape the future. And it's poised to completely upend the way we think about science. Author Yolanda Ridge tackles this topic in a friendly and accessible tone, with two introductory chapters covering the basics of DNA and genetic modification before taking readers through the ways that this ground-breaking science could affect them by potentially: - eliminating diseases like malaria and cancer, - improving the stability of our food supply, and - helping to manage conservation efforts for threatened animals and environments. But all of these possible advancements come with risks, the biggest being that the consequences are unknown. Chapters end with "Stop, Go, Yield" sections encouraging readers to consider the pros and cons of using CRISPR. "Cutting Questions" give readers the opportunity to further reflect on the ethics of the science. CRISPR is a game changer. This important book, with detailed scientific illustrations, brings much needed clarity to a topic that will affect readers for generations to come. show less

a crispr way to change genes healio the discovery of the crispr/cas system has proven to be a groundbreaking technology for easily and precisely modifying dna. crispr which stands for clustered regularly interspaced short .
what is crispr? live science crispr technology is a simple yet powerful tool for editing genomes. it allows researchers to easily alter dna sequences and modify gene function.
doctors try 1st crispr editing in the body for blindness many scientists believe crispr is a much easier tool for locating and cutting dna at a specific spot so interest in the new research is very high. the people in this study have leber congenital amaurosis caused by a gene mutation that keeps the bodyom making a protein ned to convert light into signals to the brain which enables sight.
future of crispr benefits of gene editing futurism compared to other tools used for gic engineering crispr also known by its more technical name crisprcas9 is precise cheap easy to use and remarkably powerful.
a powerful new way to edit dna the new york times it is already known for instance that crispr can sometimes change genes other than the inted ones. that could lead to unwanted s effects. the technique is also raising ethical issues.
