S1E5: CRISPR

What if our genetic code could be re-written as easily as spell checking a Word document? That science-fiction daydream became reality with the 2012 discovery of CRISPR-Cas9, a gene-editing technique that holds the promise of eradicating disease, growing healthier foods, and bringing extinct species back to life. In this week's episode of CrossBorder Solutions' Genius Beats Fear podcast, we speak to Kevin Davies, author of 'Editing Humanity: The CRISPR Revolution and the New Era in Genome Editing', to find out how gene-editing technology may change the course of human development. And whether woolly mammoths are making a comeback.
