Interesting Research CRISPR
 
Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, which are the hallmark of a bacterial defense system that forms the basis for CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing technology. In the field of genome engineering, the term “CRISPR” or “CRISPR-Cas9” is often used loosely to refer to the various CRISPR-Cas9 and -CPF1, (and other) systems that can be programmed to target specific stretches of genetic code and to edit DNA at precise locations, as well as for other purposes, such as for new diagnostic tools. With these systems, researchers can permanently modify genes in living cells and organisms and, in the future, may make it possible to correct mutations at precise locations in the human genome in order to treat genetic causes of disease.

I like CRISPR fries as well.

If I understood this would probably agree.

Need to be a member of Mensa these days on TOTV!
Haven't a clue what post was about.

Apparently something to do with modifying bacteria.

This could get into similar MRNA as did with COVID. Some will look at it objectively others will assume it’s bad. Science can’t live with it or without it.

In simple English but not really

“ CRISPR (short for “clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats”) is a technology that research scientists use to selectively modify the DNA of living organisms. CRISPR was adapted for use in the laboratory from naturally occurring genome editing systems found in bacteria.Jul 1, 2023”

Treatment of diseases
 
For example:

Cancer
Blood disorders
Blindness
AIDS
Cystic fibrosis
Muscular dystrophy
Huntington's disease
COVID-19

I had a bacterial infection once. Is that the same thing ?

Interesting word salads pop up on ToTV to generate ad revenue I suppose.

ToTV infractraction clickbait but... ICMEC reports about 8 MILLION!! children go "missing" a year. How about T V focuses on making sure local and visitor kids stay safe. How about the world focuses on ending kids from "missing" for a while rather than bacteria?

WingedFoot78 07-11-2023 05:17 AM

Ditto!

This may prove to be one of the most important breakthroughs in identifying and treating many genetically based diseases. Of all times!

That’s because Most anything can be used for the good of others or for self centered reasons which ultimately end up hurting others. So most if not all scientific advancements will be used for both. That is unfortunately the human condition.

Do I need a new one already?

Get educated, for your grandkids' sake
 
I had heard about CRISPR for the past few years, but did not understand it. Then I recently read "CODE BREAKER" by Walter Isaacson, which is centered around the female DNA scientist who invented the CRISPR process. An amazing book that, while technical in parts, will give you a glimpse of the future of medicine. For real - NO POLITICS.
