CRISPR-Cas9: Now Knocking Out 12 Genes At Once
News Staff, Science 2.0 blogs - 6 hours ago
Just a few short years ago, CRISPR-Cas9 technology took the world of molecular biology by storm because it allowed a cost-effective way to shut off or turn on traits in organisms without any side effects. CRISPR is an acronym of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, a bacterial defense system. The enzyme Cas9 acts like a pair of ‘molecular scissors’ that can cut two strands of DNA and insert of remove something. Then CRISPR repairs it. Now it's gotten upgrade. Instead of one or two genes, a new study knocked out 12 at once. read more

Imperial Japan Made Their Own M1 Garand Rifle

*Caleb Larson* *World War II History, Asia* The U.S. standard-issue rifle was so good and reliable in the field that Imperial Japanese Navy gunsmiths decided to copy it. To an American audience, the M1 Garand is perhaps one of the most recognizable rifles of World War Two. Chambered in the powerful .30-06 cartridge, and fed from eight-round en bloc clips, the M1 was a formidable full-sized rifle, and arguably the best semi-automatic rifle of the war. After the war, General George S. Patton famously said that the M1 was “the best battle implement ever devised,” cementing the M1’s ...

Socialized medicine in all but name

The latest health care proposals by the Biden administration may be the nail in the coffin of independent health care in this country. It looks as if we're about to have socialized medicine forced down our throats, whether we like it or not. American health care is not about sick patients and their interactions with doctors and hospitals. Far from it. It is about power and money, with two of the four major players who currently split the loot rapidly losing their future place at the table. The major player, the Democratically run federal government and its entitlement prog...
