What experts are saying about Biology
Biology and life sciences — research from genetics to cell biology advancing our understanding of living systems.
“The human genome contains approximately 20,000 genes, a number so large that a single human cannot read and retain information about all of them.”
— Sam Rodriguez
“A significant challenge in the field of genome editing is ensuring the precision of CRISPR, specifically the ability to precisely dictate the exact change made to the DNA.”
— Jennifer Doudna
“CRISPR is an adaptive immune system in bacteria that uses RNA molecules, transcribed from viral DNA, to find and destroy the genetic material of invading viruses.”
— Jennifer Doudna
“Bryan Johnson has contacted the Chinese professor who conducted the FOXO3 gene therapy study to explore replicating the experiment.”
— Bryan Johnson
“Jennifer Doudna was awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her role in developing the CRISPR-Cas9 genome engineering technology.”
