Australian scientists develop new gene-editing method

Scientists from the University of Sydney have developed a new gene-editing tool called seekRNA which uses a programmable strand of RNA to target and insert genetic sequences.

This world-leading tool can potentially eliminate hundreds of human diseases.

It's a new way of editing all types of genes, more accurately and safely than ever.

Whatever you´re pushing SKY NEWS I wouldn´t take into my body. Period!

Really, I think we've had enough of scientists messing with nature. As if US Dr Faucci and his Gain of Function, Mnra gene therapy, bio weapons wasn't enough.

Oh my, this could be a life saving breakthrough for genetically inherent Muscular Distrophy, MS, ALS, Auto Immune diseases etc! So many inherited diseases that could be stopped and reversed .

MY family could really benefit from such a gene carrier process to eradicate a mutated gene that is devastating us! Thank you Australia ...

"Life changing technology" 🤔

Nothing beats nature like something that beats the hell out of nature.

Ijteresting to see its mechanical features from the 3d model. Looks like it has flexors in the reverse of the "mouth"

Want to mess with six million years of natural evolution? Go ahead Ill sit back and watch and looking from the past two years it will be entertaining.

Every action has an opposite and equal reaction. Messing with nature, where has that gotten us really.

The kovid junkies getting and update 2.0 😂

[thabocable]

Hopefully the technology can be used for good.

I'll give you one example why we need this x
Bananas have about 30 years left and then we will have no more bananas.
We have lost the Gros Michel. We are going to lose the Cavendish.
You want a banana or not?
This is what gene editing is for

[MRPricks]

Already done the last few year's people have been modified.

Don't you wish you were informed, before trialling flu shots. Don't pity the stupid and greedy😆

[wyatthurts]

Difference between Wuhan and Vegas? What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas 😂

[jjsc]

😂 Extraordinarily preliminary. And done elsewhere too. Even if promising there is NO WAY the IP (or the scientist) will remain in 🦘-land 😂😂

[Luke-yb]

Not Australia invention immigrants invention
