About CRISPR Whisper
The CRISPR-Cas ‘gene scissors’ are attracting worldwide attention. With the CRISPR-Whisper science communication project, researchers want to increase understanding of the scientific principles and the diverse areas of application of the method. The programme is aimed at anyone who would like to learn more about basic research in general and how CRISPR-Cas works in particular.
