A beautiful 4 minute video explaining a new genome editing tool in molecular detail. The CRISPR-Cas 9 system is growing in popularity amongst researchers for studying the genetics of organisms. One application, for example, is using CRISPR to alter genes in malaria parasites to understand their function better and to investigate which genes are essential for parasite survival. This has the potential to inform on better treatments via new drug and vaccine research. #science #genetics https://youtube/watch?v=2pp17E4E-O8
