They did using a process known as gene editing. There are many hurdles tojump but this raises the hope of preventing thousands of inherited genetic disorders. Fergus walsh reports. The goal could not be more ambitious. To eradicate inherited diseases. These scientists have taken an impressive first step on a long road. Editing dna in Human Embryos. So how is it done . Inside the nucleus of each of our cells is our genome, billions of pieces of dna. It is the Instruction Manual for life. The scientists were targeting a faulty gene that causes a serious Heart Condition. They fertilised a healthy egg with sperm from a man carrying the faulty gene. They then injected the gene editing system. This scans the dna like a spell check or a sat nav. It then cuts both strands of the dna and removes the faulty gene. A healthy copy of the gene from the egg was then naturally inserted. Now here are some of the embryos from a study in the journal nature after being edited. 42 of 58 embryos were correc

Leap on Scientific Research and related issues that impact americans virtually every day. Throughout our nations history, our farmers, ranchers and folks in Rural America have survived drought, disease, floods, and tornadoes and fires and whatever else Mother Nature throws at them. Year after year, they produced the safest most abundant food and fiber supply in the world, however today, growers from cross the country are facing high prices. These strong producers need a strong market for their goods. The importance of trade for agriculture, our agriculture industry cannot be overstated. And if that was not enough, over the last previous years, farmers and ranchers and Rural Businesses have been burdened by regulations all across the federal government. I have heard time and time again as well as many members of this committee about the costly and hard to understand regulations that endanger the ability of our producers to stay in business. This committee will continue its efforts to ma
Need the heavier jackets. There are clouds around, and 50s at the bus stop. Well up into the 60s as they are off the bus this afternoon. Right now 50 degrees in worcester, and there are a couple of 40s, orange up to keen. Boston 53. 56 on the cape in hyannis so it is a mild start. You can see the clouds around. They thin out, lower 60s today and well keep climbing. You can see the clouds this is the function of a warm front. Our rain will come from this cold front and that pushes in tomorrow so its a dry one today we will get close to 70, out to framingham, upper 60s in lowell, and mid to upper 60s through worcester, and south of town nearing 73 from bridgewater for november. Well let you know when the cooler air returns. Out to the roads, good morning, olessa. Olessa good morning. A live look outside. A check of the bridge. You can see traffic is moving along at a good pace. Now to the maps and you can see the rest of your ride. We have volume on 24 out of brockton, and plus word of a
