Will CRISPR ever reach its full potential?

[Teodora A. Bejenariu]

More specific CRISPR tools are advancing, do you think we are approaching a new era in gene editing?

but it is in English. he is saying know that we can do more stuff better and cheaper with crispr do you think gene editing will come into a new era.

I hope so. To treat diseases there is this technology they insert nucleotides that bind with mRNA to prevent mRNA from binding to a ribosome and transcribe harmful proteins. But with CRISPR you can edit genes and prevent mRNA from subscribing unwanted proteins.

I'm wondering if such technologies will interact somehow with CRISPR.

It's a tricky path, complex systems are prone to emergent properties.
