The 5 Coolest Things On Earth This Week

Sam Worley
December 16, 2019
"Vast amounts of data could be stored in DNA embedded in 3D-printed objects, construction of the world’s first 3D-printed neighborhood is underway in southern Mexico, and materials scientists found a way to strengthen titanium alloys that are used to 3D-print metal. This week’s coolest things on earth — now in new dimensions!

Beyond Just Promise, CRISPR Is Delivering In The Lab Today

Ian Haydon
May 21, 2017
There’s a revolution happening in biology, and its name is CRISPR.
CRISPR (pronounced “crisper”) is a powerful technique for editing DNA. It has received an enormous amount of attention in the scientific and popular press, largely based on the promise of what this powerful gene editing technology will someday do.

Octopus And Squid Evolution Is Officially Weirder Than We Could Have Ever Imagined

Signe Dean Sciencealert
April 09, 2017

They edit their own genes!

 

 

Just when we thought octopuses couldn't be any weirder, it turns out that they and their cephalopod brethren evolve differently from nearly every other organism on the planet.

In a surprising twist, scientists have discovered that octopuses, along with some squid and cuttlefish species, routinely edit their RNA (ribonucleic acid) sequences to adapt to their environment.
