A New Record Has Been Set For The Number Of CRISPR Edits That Can Be Done To A Single Human Cell While keeping The Cell Alive. The New Record Of 13,200 Genetic Changes Could Enable, E.G., The Large Scale Removal Of Unwanted Genes, And The Engineering Of New Species To Mention These Few. Cool!
Gene-Editing Record Smashed With Over 13,000 Changes Made to a Single Human CellUsing a modified version of CRISPR, a team of geneticists has successfully triggered 13,200 genetic changes to a single human cell. That’s a new record, by a long shot. This sweeping new editing process could eventually be used to strip DNA of useless or dangerous genetic information—or create entirely new kinds of life.
