A world-class molecular biologist talks about the most significant events in genetics of the 21st century and their impact on our future. What are “genetic scissors” and why was a Nobel Prize awarded for them? Who is the real author of the technology? Why is this a revolution in genetics? What are the real and imaginary dangers of this approach? Will humanity edit the genes of embryos? Will it be able to defeat aging? And what new great discovery are all geneticists eagerly awaiting?
