Genetic scissors: a tool for rewriting the code of life - Contenido educativo
Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna are awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2020 for
discovering one of gene technology’s sharpest tools: the CRISPR/Cas9 genetic scissors. Researchers can
use these to change the DNA of animals, plants and microorganisms with extremely high precision. This
technology has revolutionised the molecular life sciences, brought new opportunities for plant breeding, is
contributing to innovative cancer therapies and may make the dream of curing inherited diseases come true.
