For those interested in CRISPR tech I'd highly suggest reading up on BEAM therapeutics. It's base pair editing which makes it much more precise compared to CRISPR which is editing DNA chains. They don't have editors for all base pairs yet but they have a couple and it looks very promising.

- jonplackett 6y agoSo CRISPR now has frameworks? Cool.
