Splicing and Dicing #DNA: #Genome #Engineering and the #CRISPR Revolution at #WSF16. 
CRISPR: It’s the powerful gene editing #technology transforming #biomedical #research. Fast, cheap and easy to use, it allows #scientists to rewrite the DNA in just about any #organism—including #humans—with tests on human #embryos already underway. The technique’s potential to radically reshape everything from #disease prevention to the future of human #evolution has driven explosive #progress and heated #debate. 
Tickets available now. Link in bio.
