With #CRISPR being recognized in the #NobelPrize2020 last week, here's a quick look at a dozen books that currently or will cover the science, scientists and ethics of CRISPR and gene editing... apologies if I've missed any {thread} My new book EDITING HUMANITY takes a fun ride with the "heroes of CRISPR", detailing the research that culminated in the Doudna-Charpentier Nobel Prize.
