Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier get chemistry Nobel for CRISPR-cas9

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/07/s...ry-crispr.html
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was jointly awarded on Wednesday to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna for their 2012 work on the development of Crispr-Cas9, a method for genome editing. The announcement marks the first time a science Nobel has been awarded to two women.

“This year’s prize is about rewriting the code of life,” Goran K. Hansson, the secretary-general of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, said as he announced the names of the laureates.

Dr. Charpentier and Dr. Doudna, only the sixth and seventh women to receive the chemistry prize, pioneered early work on Crispr-Cas9, a kind of genetic scissors that allows researchers to alter the DNA of animals, plants and microorganisms with extremely high precision. Since then, it has been used in numerous scientific applications, from genetically modifying crops to developing cures-in-progress for conditions like sickle cell disease and hereditary blindness.
pretty cool

That's pretty cool. Maybe some day we'll just use genetically modified viruses (****es) to kill all bacterial infections or destroy cancerous cells.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit softly.
