Genetically modified Monkeys using CRISPR genome editing and shows that transhuman genome editing in humans is feasible
China has created genetically modified monkeys using a new method of DNA engineering known as Crispr. The infant macaques show that targeted genome editing is feasible in primates—a potential boon for scientists studying complex diseases, including neurological ones, and an advance that suggests that the method could one day work in humans. The new study …
