4. Genome Editing

Do remember how humans created dinosaurs in Jurassic Park? Well, the technology is real, and while we are not talking about dinosaurs being brought back using it (what a shame), the technology is certainly something you should follow. CRISPR is a new genome editing method that ranks 4th in our list of most advanced technologies in the world today. It has shown positive results in its clinical trials. In fact, researchers have successfully used this genetic editing method to create mosquitoes that do not carry malaria parasites and are 100% resistant to the parasite. The method has also been used to treat mice suffering from Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy.
