Genome editing is an exciting but still nascent field, and companies in the area face as many obstacles as they do opportunities. Maybe in 50 years’ time we’ll be using gene editing to lower cholesterol, but it won’t replace statins in anyone but those with life threatening mutations for a long time”. Zinc fingers.

By combining CRISPR technology with a protein designed with artificial intelligence (AI), it is possible to awaken individual dormant genes by disabling the chemical “off switches” that silence them. Researchers from the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle describe this finding in the journal Cell Reports.
