- From the Radiolab podcast: CRISPR, a DNA editing tool as easy as cut and paste.
It's been almost two years since we learned about CRISPR, a ninja-assassin-meets-DNA-editing-tool that has been billed as one of the most powerful, and potentially controversial, technologies ever discovered by scientists. In this episode, we catch up on what's been happening (it's a lot), and learn about CRISPR's potential to not only change human evolution, but every organism on the entire planet.
Out drinking with a few biologists, Jad Abumrad finds out about something called CRISPR. No, it’s not a robot or the latest dating app, it’s a method for genetic manipulation that is rewriting the way we change DNA. Scientists say they’ll someday be able to use CRISPR to fight cancer and maybe even bring animals back from the dead. Or, pretty much do whatever you want. Jad and Robert Krulwich delve into how CRISPR does what it does, and consider whether we should be worried about a future full of flying pigs, or the simple fact that scientists have now used CRISPR to tweak the genes of human embryos.

I would love an update on this !
That's why I love GENETICS
Amazing, beautiful, scary. The future is so bright or is it dark instead?
I love you guys!
Awesome stuff.
look into CRISPR PASTE; cool advancement.
This is from 2017. are there any interesting podcasts from radiolab on crispr since then?
Unfortunately, radiolab slows down in science department.
@@DanuelNuel nearly entirely politics or politics adjacent now... SAD!
@@DanuelNuel I wish they went back to science based stories
@@connermontgomery546 I’m also sad about that
It is tragic@@connermontgomery546
Yay
I disagree with the notion of the unsafe side effects of crispr edits in pathogen vectors like mosquitos and ticks. This can be easily tested with protein analysis. You shutting would need to create some sort of protein that the predator is not able to digest which is of course possible, but knocking out genes likely won’t do this. Further, the comment of 1 person being allowed to affect an entire environment (sounds familiar 🤔) .. cough cough oil.
ethical and environemntal impacts shoyld be seriously diecussed and contemplated, but this is a tool that should not be villified
Is it a stomach bile gene?
With that said will we be making humans with acid spit?
not really possible@@koriprince
I like the content. But the random sounds throw me off
You might want to smoke more weed
Sounds are engaging don’t get ride of them.
Why didn't they use it to cure COVID for this long?
It's not suitable for commercial use yet
They did. The mrna type vaccine were experimental and mrna was practiced through crispr they just couldn't describe it to the public like that
Yay
