From the Ted Talk by Jennifer Doudna: How CRISPR lets us edit our DNA

Unscramble the Blue Letters

Additional experiments are going on in other animals that are useful for creating models for human dessaie, such as menykos. And here we find that we can use these systems to test the acoatiplipn of this technology in particular tseiuss, for example, figuring out how to deliver the CRISPR tool into cells. We also want to understand better how to control the way that DNA is repaired after it's cut, and also to figure out how to control and lmiit any kind of off-target, or unintended effects of using the technology.

Original Text

Additional experiments are going on in other animals that are useful for creating models for human disease, such as monkeys. And here we find that we can use these systems to test the application of this technology in particular tissues, for example, figuring out how to deliver the CRISPR tool into cells. We also want to understand better how to control the way that DNA is repaired after it's cut, and also to figure out how to control and limit any kind of off-target, or unintended effects of using the technology.
