SCIENTISTS ARE SINGLING OUT AND
MANIPULATING GENES
Stanford University bioengineers,
with the help of others, have developed
programmable genetic code that allows for
the activation and deactivation of genes
in living cells.
At ETH Zurich, volunteers using a
wireless headset were able to use their
thoughts to send signals to an implant
embedded in a mouse. This allowed
them to turn the mouse’s genes on and off.
