Fresh Air on NPR yesterday did an hour where they discussed gene editing and the such. Incredibly fascinating! I was recently diagnosed with colon cancer (i'm doing great) and I'm totally rediscovering genomics. Having not given any thought to this stuff since AP Bio in highschool so many advances have been made!!
I'm especially curious how machine learning will play into all of this (the broader genomics community). So much more interesting than the "cyber" stuff I work on now :)
- palamoun 10y agoI listened to this program on NPR yesterday too and was very intrigued. For everyone else, the guest on Fresh Air was Michael Specter, who recently wrote an article in the New Yorker about CRISPR.
