Over a decade ago, the application of CRISPR for genome editing was first described as a promising new tool that would enable scientists to make genetic changes with a level of speed and precision that had not been possible before.
In ten short years, not only have scientists been able to unravel new facets of how the genetic code impacts life, but they have also begun developing treatments for genetic diseases that were previously incurable.
But what comes next? Like all scientific advances, the foundational CRISPR-Cas9 tools are not perfect, so evolution is necessary.
