This animation depicts the CRISPR-Cas9 method for genome editing – a powerful new technology with many applications in biomedical research, including the potential to treat human genetic disease. Feng Zhang, a leader in the development of this technology, is a faculty member at MIT, an investigator at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research, and a core member of the Broad Institute. Further information can be found on Prof. Zhang’s website at http://zlab.mit.edu . Images and footage courtesy of Sputnik Animation, the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Justin Knight and pond5.

immortality? what else would usher it in if not capitalistic bickering... oh humanity the sulphury tears of joy and pride rolling down lucifers brimstony cheeks!

This is so cool! I just found out about all this today, and it opens so many doors for genetics! We could change hair color, eye color, maybe even skin color with enough research! I love science!

Jurassic park here we come! Unintended consequences and all. Now it has been approved for limited use on human embryos. We all know (some hope) it will not stop there. To be honest, this is not something we can see all the consequences of.
To the best, it could cure genetic defects, save lives, end deformities, & make us more viable as people. This is why so many love this idea.
One if the issues is the use of new tech. Take nuclear science. This has made power plants, furthered genetic science, and made weapons that may one day destroy us all. Good things have come from it, but do not go boldly forward unaware of what this will be used for.
CRISPER (written like I would DNA) will be used to destructive ends at some point. It had been created, it will be used, I hope your aware of what you have done. Vigilance over this tech is key! This could slowly destroy us as a species over several generations, & maybe in less. I like dreaming about the best, but I prepare for the worst. Cure us all, but leave us human after the dust settles. Eugenics, I think that about covers it. -
How is the DNA that carries the desired sequence introduced to the nucleus?

Isnt this what created the WALKING DEAD? LOL On a serious note. I have been following anti-aging scientists for over a decade, and they seem to be within target distance of a cure for aging... Too bad I wont live long enough to get these drugs...

The first thing that comes to mind when I see any of these sorts of articles is cosmetic surgery.
-
As much as this could be used for good things in the future....but there's always going to be something bad that comes along once this gets enough funding/support.

It's coming.....

It would be interesting to have a conversation with someone reanimated from the sixties. Like Walt Disney.
-
This is so fascinating. I wonder when they will develop treatments for diseases and begin to reanimate those persons whom have had themselves frozen for such a time as this.

can we use this technology to make pokemon real?

A Well Done video that explains why "Synthetic Biology Labs' are now sprouting like weeds in Academia all over the world ! "Breakthrough" in Medical and Biological Interventions potentially as big as the "Steam Engine", "Double Helix" and the Electronic Chip , in the 100 years before 2017 !

This is the best explanation of CRISPR-Cas9 I've seen.

This is an amazing and powerful tool, the possibilities are endless, but when the weapon developers get hold of it, and they always do, it's frightening to think of what they will think of
