Power and Peril of Gene Editing
CRISPR/Cas9 Technology
The must-read summary of "A Crack in Creation: Gene Editing and the Unthinkable Power to Control Evolution" by Jennifer A. Doudna and Samuel H. Sternberg.
This complete summary of Jennifer Doudna and Samuel Sternberg's book tells the story of CRISPR and "gene-editing." CRISPR is a cutting-edge gene-editing technology that mimics what happens naturally in bacteria. It enables scientists to "play god" with plant or animal DNA, with unlimited power and peril.
The technology of gene editing is the most important advance in our era. The possibility of forever altering the genetic composition of humankind is frightening. Yet we can't overlook the opportunities that may lead to inventions for cures of HIV, debilitating genetic diseases, and cancers, and end food shortages.
The book will demystify this exciting area of science and inspire you to seek answers to tough moral and ethical questions on the use of this technology.
This guide includes:
* Book Summary—helps you understand the key concepts.
* Online Videos—covers the concepts in more depth.
Value-added from this guide:
* Save time
* Understand key concepts
* Expand your knowledge
Read this summary and get involved in the debate on the moral and ethical issues on the use of this technology.
