I thought Dr. Goudna did a very good explanation of Crispr cas 9 in this video. Yes, the different video presentations could have been better, but her audio about the information was understandable for this layman.
I don't find any short palindrome repeats. And I know what a palindrome is. Who invented the antiparallel parallel strands you use to read forward and backward while the nucleotids on neither strand is a palindrome ? Tricky..When I put the two shorts end to end it is one long palindrome not two shorts. What am I missing ?
Does the CAS9 protein have to be injected in vitro, or are there methods of altering the genes in those who have been unfortunate enough to be born AFTER this mind blowing breakthrough?
+Jack Ames They are a bit secretive , about how to get CAS 9 into the cell . I imagine you can use old metodology to insert cas9 gene and hope its being produced in the protein form .

Surely life first evolved on the basis of RNA, then used DNA as a means of "semi-permanent" information storage? I.e., given Miller-Urey conditions and 800 million years?
