Gene Drive Organisms: A New Dimension of Genetic Engineering – Applications, Risks and Regulation
Volker Henn and Mareike Imken (stop-genedrives.eu) Enabled by new genetic engineering techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9, so-called gene drives have been developed in recent years that enable humans to spread new genes throughout the genome of wild animal populations. Gene drives force the inheritance of newly introduced genes to be inherited by all offspring, even if […]
Researchers Flip Pharmaceutical AI to Create 40,000 Biowarfare Agents
Audrey Carleton Machine learning has offered the pharmaceutical industry a lot. It automated the drug discovery process, making it easier to identify proteins that indicate disease, predicting molecules that will effectively bind to them to treat it, and shortened the process by which essential medicines—like COVID-19 vaccines—get rolled out. Machine learning has also made it easier […]
