SUMMARY: The Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020 was awarded to two scientists; Emmanuelle Charpentier from the Max Planck Unit, Berlin, Germany and Jennifer Doudna from the University of California, Berkeley, “for the development of a method for genome editing” a “Genetic scissors: a tool for rewriting the code of life”
Research this powerful gene editing system by reading the first article below (which has embedded videos) and at least one of the following three articles.
