Possible HIV treatment CRISPR shown to cause alarming DNA damage
 

CRISPR-a gene editing technique-promises to help HUMANITY overcome VIRAL diseases.

Quick Background on CRISPR-CAS9



The problem with this 'miracle technology'? Massive DNA damage

Or, it could reduce or end disease and extend life expectancy. Too early to tell yet, but this is fascinating and important science.

Well the CRISPR/Cas9 cuts DNA as if it were scissors so theres your DNA damage.... So its in its early stages and cutting a bit off mark in a sloppy way. They'll improve it in time.

"However, during these experiments CRISPR caused deletions or rearrangements more than 100 DNA letters long in around a fifth of cells. These mutations happened in some cases several thousand DNA bases away from the target site."
