“Work alone. You’re going to be best able to design revolutionary products and features if you’re working on your own. Not on a committee. Not on a team.”
Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking

“CRISPR offers the greatest hope to treat monogenic genetic diseases—those caused by a single mutated gene.”
Jennifer A. Doudna, A Crack in Creation: The New Power to Control Evolution

“Scholars and journalists have already started dreaming that CRISPR might be used to create mythical creatures like winged dragons by editing the genes of Komodo dragons,70 noting in a prominent bioethics journal that, while basic physics would prevent them from breathing fire, “a very large reptile that looks at least somewhat like the European or Asian dragon (perhaps even with flappable if not flyable wings) could be someone’s target of opportunity.”71”

“The human genome also includes a separate mini-chromosome—just sixteen thousand letters of DNA—located in mitochondria, the energy-producing batteries of the cell. Unlike the genetic code found in other chromosomes, mitochondrial DNA is inherited exclusively from the mother.”
