Question

Did you know? CRISPR is a cut-and-paste technique for DNA, based on how bacteria defend themselves against viruses. It is so precise and so cheap — hundreds rather than millions of dollars per treatment — that its inventors won the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Accepted Answer

CRISPR is a cut-and-paste technique for DNA, based on how bacteria defend themselves against viruses. It is so precise and so cheap — hundreds rather than millions of dollars per treatment — that its inventors won the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

CRISPR is een knip-en-plak-techniek voor DNA, gebaseerd op hoe bacteriën zich verdedigen tegen virussen. Hij is zo precies en zo goedkoop — honderden in plaats van miljoenen dollars per behandeling — dat de uitvinders in 2020 de Nobelprijs scheikunde wonnen.
