RE: Better Understanding The Workings Of Hepatitis B With A Transgenic Virus
This really is an amazing field of study. Heard about CRISPR for the first time only a few days ago. On the new Netflix show "Bill Nye Saves the World" . We are far off from being able to go into a clinic someplace and ask for a DNA upgrade or mod, and have it be delivered up on demand. Though the sciences and research behind all this are growing exponentially every year. Certainly something to keep following! Great post!
CRISPR has a number of hurdles and challenges yes, however there have been some preliminary experiments that are promising. The editing of an embryo seems a more realistic possibility (for removing a genetic disease) then does adult genome editing. We will have to see where the research goes.
