Fewer than 15 mammals in all of history have ever had their embryos directly gene edited Never a horse. Until now. At Embryo Corp we used CRISPR to insert a jellyfish gene We live in an age where we can change the DNA of all living things yet biotech still runs like its 1987

Update: most of the apparent lift is fake, unfortunately. Looks like the new browser is pre-loading the links before the user sees them. I’ll update when we know more.
