Pre-Crisper, we would chunk bits out and throw it in. It was a blind approach to playing with the DNA of the plant. We look at genes that we know translate into very specific proteins. So when people lose their mind about genetically modified foods,. honestly, everything you're eating is going to be in one way or another, genetically modified from its origin.
In this episode, Dr Matt and Dr Mike discuss how humans realised that bacteria could fight off viruses using sequences in their DNA called, CRISPR. Today, CRISPR technology is being used to cure cancer and investigate the cause of genetic disease.
