Gene editing allows scientists to change gene sequences by adding, replacing or removing sections of DNA. Take a look at our animation, which explains how this technology works, as well as its possible ethical and societal implications: bit.ly/2NoX1B1

Did you watch Sunday's 60 Minutes featuring George Church who was on our scientific advisory board? It's worth a watch. cbsnews.com/video/could-gene…

Could genetic engineering stop aging process in humans, eliminate diseases?

George Church's lab at Harvard Medical School is working to make humans immune to all viruses, eliminate genetic diseases and reverse the aging process. Scott Pelley reports on how close the geneti...

@recombinetics were fantastic collaborators towards this publication. Our shared findings in mice, and in pigs, inform our understanding of human development, and the embryonic origins of #testiscancer

New research led by @pk_nicholls in the Page lab indicates that primordial germ cells do not commit to becoming sex cells until shortly after reaching the gonads during development. The findings could shed light on the origins of testicular cancer: ow.ly/BDby50xe5yd

Doctors use CRISPR gene editing in cancer patients, a first in the U.S. latimes.com/science/story/20…

Doctors use CRISPR gene editing in cancer patients, a first in the U.S.

The first attempt in the U.S. to use CRISPR against cancer seems safe in three patients who have had it so far, but it's too soon to know whether it will help.

New study by researchers from @RoyalAgUni shows shifting to 100% #organic farming isn't enough to reduce #greenhouse gases. We need all the tools including #GeneEditing which allows farmers to use less land while greatly increasing organic crop yields. bit.ly/2Jit6bl

Going fully organic would raise greenhouse gas emissions

Organic farms tend to produce less food than non-organic ones Greenhouse gas emissions would go up if all farms in England and Wales went organic. Though the emissions of individual farms would go...
