So in China, the scientist who was known for using gene editing to engineer the first babies, actually, Dr. He.

Yeah.

What he did was he engineered the CCR5 gene.

I believe that's what the gene was called.

And he used CRISPR.

CRISPR is a bacterial immune response system.

It stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats.

Basically refers to the set of palindromic DNA sequences in a bacteria.

And he used that to make a gene editing device.

called CRISPR.

And he basically used CRISPR.

Oh, I remember very well.

And CRISPR is composed of two things.

It's composed of like a guide.

Like basically, imagine it takes the device to the right part of the DNA, which is like a scissors.

And then, excuse me, it has a guide which takes the CRISPR to the right part of the DNA and then there's an endonucleus which basically cuts the DNA.

A little bit of a technical explanation.

Basically, you can use a bacterial immune response system, harness it as a genetic device, okay?

And this is what the scientist did.

And I'm obviously, you know, about the story.
