I worked with The Texas Scientist to illustrate their cover feature about CRISPR gene editing. The article, "Cut, Paste, Cure", explores how CRISPR is revolutionising biology. First discovered as an immune mechanism in bacteria, researchers are now using it as a faster and more precise way to study and rewrite DNA. Author Marc Airhart looks at how scientists are using these tools to treat rare diseases, advance cancer research, and improve crops.
