What experts are saying about Biology
Biology and life sciences — research from genetics to cell biology advancing our understanding of living systems.
“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
“Science has developed a state-of-the-art optogenetic gene therapy and published a paper on the world's most sensitive optogenetic proteins, which are responsive to indoor office lighting.”
- Max Hodak
“John Gurdon demonstrated that a new frog could be cloned by transferring the nucleus from a skin cell into an egg, proving the developmental clock could be reset.”
- Venki Ramakrishnan
“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
“Jennifer Doudna was awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her role in developing the CRISPR-Cas9 genome engineering technology.”
