Skip to main content. Connecting Science to You. Tailoring Your DNA: The Future of Genome Editing. Tailoring Your DNA: The Future of Genome Editing. Jun 29, 2015. But, as you would imagine, modifying the genes of an organism is not easy. It’s not as simple as removing the parts you do not like with an eraser. It involves making changes at a molecular level that are both complex and challenging. It is smarter than other nucleases! The region of DNA that Cas9 binds to depends on another molecule called the...

I never opened a computer programming software until my first year of graduate school. Before then, MATLAB. Never need to use. Needless to say, this set me up for a rude awakening just a few years later. I am not the only one who has reached this conclusion. Several new initiatives ( Code.org. To name a few) supported by the likes of Google, Facebook...
