New AI paper from us this week. When my student first showed me his initial findings, I really didn’t know what to make of them. I felt that this was an interesting but curious loophole phenomenon that would shortly be closed. I was very wrong.

Big statement alert:
This is a LANDMARK in the history of clinical gene editing. This means we can dose to effect. This means we can sequentially edit targets. This means we can reverse certain edits.
Cue "A whole new wooorld..."

[Nicole Mather @NicoleMatherLS]

This is just so cool. Love it

Moderna can make 34 custom mRNAs on demand - GMP - IN TWO WEEKS to treat a person with cancer.
The same can be true for CRISPR Cures for a devastatingly ill infant who needs a custom gRNA to save their life.
Yes it can.

@ewanbirney I remember a great 2x2 about keeping to the rules, and expecting others to. Eg British people expect others to keep to rules, but not themselves. Dutch keep the rules but completely don’t mind what others do.. Italy no one cares.. etc
