Deep dives
CRISPR: Gene Editing Technology
CRISPR is a technology used by scientists to cut out specific pieces of genes by employing nucleases as scissors and guide RNA as a marker for cutting locations. The system involves selecting the appropriate guide RNA and nucleases for precise gene editing. Traditionally, gene editing using CRISPR could take years to achieve, but advancements like CRISPR GPT aim to streamline the process by offering more efficient experiment designs.
CRISPR GPT: Enhancing Experiment Design
Researchers have integrated Chat GPT to improve experiment planning in gene editing. By training GPT with extensive CRISPR-related literature, scientists can obtain optimized protocols for gene editing experiments, enhancing efficiency and accuracy. This approach reduces the lengthy trial-and-error process typically associated with conventional gene editing methods, potentially revolutionizing research practices.
Humanoid Robots in Manufacturing Efficiency
Humanoid robots are envisioned to enhance productivity in manufacturing settings, especially for repetitive and time-consuming tasks. The adaptability of humanoid robots allows them to perform various functions previously handled by humans, streamlining processes and potentially accelerating research and development activities. By automating routine tasks and integrating AI capabilities, humanoid robots offer a promising pathway to optimize operations and reduce experimental timelines in research environments.
Are you worried about robots taking over? This week, Autonomous Technology and Robotics Director of Research Sam Korus and Associate Portfolio Manager Nick Grous are joined by ARK Multiomics Research Associate Rong Guo to discuss CRISPR gene editing and the new Tesla Optimus robots.
If you know ARK, then you probably know about our long-term research projections, like estimating where we will be 5-10 years from now! But just because we are long-term investors, doesn’t mean we don’t have strong views and opinions on breaking news. In fact, we discuss and debate this every day. So now we’re sharing some of these internal discussions with you in our new video series, “The Brainstorm”, a co-production from ARK and Public.com. Tune in every week as we react to the latest in innovation. Here and there we’ll be joined by special guests, but ultimately this is our chance to join the conversation and share ARK’s quick takes on what’s going on in tech today.
