Hearing on the possible uses and misuses of genetic information.

abstract：:Genome engineering has gone mainstream because of breakthroughs in defining and harnessing naturally occurring, customizable DNA recognition cursors (protein or RNA-guided). At present, most gene editing relies on these cursors to direct custom DNA endonucleases to a specific genomic sequence to induce a double-strand...
