If you are a long time listener of DNA Today you know how fascinating and frightening we find CRISPR, you must be too if you clicked on this episode. So I wanted to share with you a new podcast I have started listening to called A CRISPR Bite. This is the first episode to get you hooked. CRISPR gene-editing technology came out as a massive biotech breakthrough in the last decade, but most people have still never heard of it. A CRISPR Bite is a five-part podcast series where food anthropologist Dr. Lauren Crossland-Marr takes listeners into the labs where researchers are tinkering with food genes, to help break down the problems they’re hoping to solve – and what’s at stake. Stream the other four parts of this podcast series by searching, “A CRISPR Bite” in your podcast app. Let me know if you enjoy it as much as I am! And if you finish the series and want more episodes that discuss CRISPR, I recommend listening to DNA Today’s Episodes 197, 198 and 84. Stay tuned for the next new episode of DNA Today next Friday on October 13th where we explore the interpretation side of reporting and discuss how important the “human touch” element is to the process. For this conversation I will be joined by Blueprint Genetics’ Senior Director of Clinical Genomics’ Meena Mahey Kumar and Genomic Variant Scientist Laura Fuqua. If you are going to the NSGC conference in Chicago in a couple weeks then be sure to stop by the Blueprint Genetics Booth! New episodes are released every Friday.
