Do some research to understand what CRISPR is and how it works.

1.Click on the link 1.Go to the link below and pick an article. Since this is a biology course, try to find an article that is related to the content of the course.2.Thescienceof.org3.Read the article and post the following:a.Link to the article. (5 points)b.A brief summary about the article. (15 points)oExplain what the article is about. Imagine you are talking to a friend of yours. Unfortunately, your friend doesn’t seem to have time to read the article but she/he really wants to know what the article is about. c.Give a reason why somebody should read the article.

What do you think makes human so different from any other species? (25 points)The goal of the assignment is to create an open and educated discussion about this subject.4.CRISPR – The goal of this assignment is to learn about a new molecular biology tool called CRISPR which scientist say is “A game-changing genetic engineering technique”. To support your contribution to the discussion board:1.Read this recent article published in the New York Times:2.In U.S. First, Scientists Edit Genes of Human Embryos2.Do some research to understand what CRISPR is and how it works. Learn about the applications, the possibilities and the controversy of its potential uses.3.Tell somebody you know (family, friend, colleague…) about CRISPR. Explain to them how it works and its uses. Find out what they think about CRISPR being a tool that could help babies avoid inherited diseases, or cure cancer patients, or treat HIV infections and ask them how they feel about the use of CRISPR to edit human embryos.4.Your post should include: a.Short definition of CRISPR. (10 pointsb.A link to one of the resources you used to learn about CRISPR. (10 points)c.A summary of your experience on sharing information about CRISPR with your listener. (15 points)
