@JohnDoench We called them “CRISPR screens” back in the day.

@gori_jennifer Boo. Haha

@JohnDoench In my experience gRNA expression from a DNA template can vary widely (10 fold or greater) and is often the culprit of “good vs bad” in this context. Please, everyone, measure measure measure before you make conclusions.

@pdhsu Stay at home. Done.

“The company hasn’t been as crisp on execution as it just needs to be, should be, has to be,” Mullen said of the leadership transition.

Perhaps they need to be CRISPR?

@pdhsu @midjourney How much for the NFT? In bitcoin only.

I concur

Respectfully:
1. There is no "CRISPR throne."
2. There is no battle.
3. The zero-sum-game-ism is not helpful.
Genomic therapies are REALLY hard to get to work, in the editing space everyone is relatively early, the target space is large, and there is room for many.

@mattryesciguy @JohnDoench Academics don’t actually pay each other consulting fees, do they?
