Yes adding, deleting, and changing genes can tell us so much.

You may be aware of CRISPR and mRNA, nano engineering. So much work is now going on here, this is the new gold rush of our time.

I expect the new abilities now available to researchers through gene manipulation to results in treatments and cures for so many ailments including cancers. And it's so inexpensive and easy to do, while improving week to week.

One goal might be to simply remove (knock out) a gene inside a cancer cell that causes it to die. Or replace that gene with the proper one. Or add a gene to the cancer cells.

Where earlier researches struggled and failed without these tools, new researchers will dance right through without delays.

Not what you're looking for?
