Scientists unveil new tools for rewriting code of life
eBio News Share
  
The power to edit genes is as revolutionary, immediately useful and unlimited in its potential as was Johannes Gutenberg's printing press. And like Gutenberg's invention, most DNA editing tools are slow, expensive and hard to use a brilliant technology in its infancy. Now, Harvard researchers developing genome-scale editing tools have rewritten the genome of living cells using the genetic equivalent of search
and replace.

Underground experiments would address questions of 'paramount importance'
National Academy of Sciences Share
  
Proceeding with three physics experiments planned for the Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory would provide an "exceptional opportunity" for major scientific advances and give the U.S. a leading role in underground science, says a new report by the National Research Council. Although the future of DUSEL is uncertain, each of the proposed experiments addresses at least one crucial unanswered
question.
