Prime Genome Editing System Could Accelerate Disease Cures

A new type of gene editing enables more precise editing than CRISPR. Prime editing combines two key proteins and a new RNA to make targeted insertions, deletions, and all possible single-letter changes in the DNA of human cells. Prime Editing is capable of directly editing human cells in a precise, efficient, and highly versatile fashion. …

Using Woolly Mammoths to help solve Climate Change

Returning woolly mammoth to the Tundra would help solve Climate Change. They lived during the Pleistocene until extinction in the early Holocene epoch, and was one of the last in a line of mammoth species. The natural environment in the tundra was about 19 million square kilometers throughout Siberia Russia, Canada and Alaska. This huge …
