Have you ever witnessed gene-editing technologies battle it out to the death? Well, I have not either, but I am going to give you a first-hand view of a gene-tech showdown. First, let me start with the rules.

Rules and Guidelines:

This showdown bubbles down to three exciting rounds. This showdown is not like a regular boxing match or anything that you have ever really seen before. For each round, there is a theme, and the contestants (the gene-editing technologies) will fight three people from that theme. These people will represent current issues or ideas where gene-editing technology is required…

For over the past decade, zinc finger arrays have been one of the front-runner technologies for gene editing, targeting enzymes, and many other such protein domains (that are specific to a DNA sequence). Through this process, scientists have identified a huge number of zinc finger nucleases hat can recognize various nucleotide triplets. With some trial and error, zinc finger arrays are able to recognize a variety of nucleotide triplets. With years of trial and error, zinc finger arrays are now able to recognize their targets with a high accurate and specificity rate. Fifteen years of research has indicated to scientists…

Have you ever been to Disneyland? Disneyworld? Well, if you have not, it is the happiest place in the world. In Disneyland you will only ever see smiles, it makes it feel truly magical. Do you know what scientists feel is magical though? Gene editing. I mean imagine, you can use different methods of gene editing to physically change your genes and DNA. To me, ZFNs, a form of gene editing are the most magical. Why you may ask? Keep reading to see the true beauty and magic of ZFNs!

ZFN’s or zinc finger nucleases is something that we can…

Look at this.

You must be thinking — AWW that's adorable!! Theres not much that can make this fur-ball much cuter in my eyes. However, some scientists thought differently. Through scrazy sciences like gene editing, CRISPR, transgenic animals, etc. scientists were able to make a beagle just like this one, glow in the dark!

WOAH! Meera there is no way your telling me that scientist figured out how to make puppies even cuter!?

Thats right. They did. And through this article Ill be talking about how they did this crazy thing!

I threw a couple of fancy terms like gene…

For millions of years, the CRE recombinase systems have ruled over genome editing. Although they were awesome leaders, a new force of power and greatness emerged from the shadows. The DRE-ROX system was here, and they were not leaving without a fight. Keep reading to witness the showdown between CRE and DRE, as well as the other types of genome editing that sided with CRE and DRE.

Woah Meera that seems so cool! I cannot wait to learn more about the CRE and DRE-ROX systems!

Slow your roll their cowboy. Before we witness the crazy fight between the CRE and…

For thousands of years, all of humankind has been fighting.

Not fighting to survive or some noble sh*t, they’ve been fighting against gasses.

Yup, we have been fighting against a life form that can’t even throw a punch, and we've been losing.

Badly.

Blindness is a disease that affects over 285 million people per year. This number is crazy; so why haven’t we tried to eradicate it?

We have.

We just failed.

What if I told you there was a way we could succeed? Let's just say this solution includes the anatomy of the eye, different diseases, stem cells, miniature scaffolds, and cats.

(I’m joking no cats were harmed in the making of this article)

Aside from bad jokes, I've been creating a new word of the device to help deliver stem cells smoother into the optic nerve. …

The Basics: Space Technology

10x your knowledge is the single greatest thing you can do; some might even say it's out of this world…

Welcome back to the second article in the article series, The Basics. The Basics is a series of articles where you can learn the basics of an up-and-coming technology field. Last week I talked about AI (https://meerasinghal.medium.com/the-basics-ai-89cf4d4886bb ), highlighting my dear friend Aditya Mittal. This week, I'll be discussing Space Technology! Are you ready for the adventure of a lifetime? Well, I hope you are because the blast of is in 3…2…1… get ready to learn!

Is Space Worth it?
