Crispr-Cas9: our genome-editing future is here

maybe you'll be rewarded with superpowers, eg the proportionate strength and speed of a stalk of corn

as tall as an elephant's eye by the fourth of july

imo it's a good thing they didn't try to put genetic material in humans they way they first tried with plants

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_gun#Gene_gun_design

The gene gun was originally a Crosman air pistol modified to fire dense tungsten particles. It was invented by John C Sanford, Ed Wolf and Nelson Allen at Cornell University,[1][2][3] and Ted Klein of DuPont, between 1983 and 1986. The original target was onions (chosen for their large cell size) and it was used to deliver particles coated with a marker gene.[4]

i'm picturing a bunch of guys in lab coats taking it in turns to fire a pistol at an onion with a target painted on it

from what I hear, that is not far off

potentially of course a monster movie is crispr but atthe same time think of the possible benefits if we can play with DNA in this we - we ourselves will be Ridley scott's' architects in prometheus.

that is an awesome responsibility
