    CRISPR is possibly one of the most significant technologies invented this century lmao. It’s a technique for inserting base sequences into DNA at targetable sites, the idea being that you can attach their expression to the expression of another sequence.

    It enables making transgenic organisms reliably. You can actually like order sequences and do it at home with a little knowhow.

    Have a read about it, it’s truly one of the most exciting things of our lifetime.
