Scientists Make 13,000 Changes Made to a Single Human Cell

Description

According to Gizmodo.com, "Using a modified version of CRISPR, a team of geneticists has successfully triggered 13,200 genetic changes to a single human cell. That’s a new record, by a long shot..." The researchers told the press, “More in-depth studies will be necessary, however, to assess the impact of this massive editing on normal cell processes, since collateral damage may occur... Therefore, strong biological controls as well as new experimental and bioinformatics [approaches] will be needed to overcome such a challenge."
