GuidePost, A Podcast Series from The CRISPR Journal

The director of “Human Nature” takes us behind the camera to discuss the making of the new documentary film that superbly captures the story of CRISPR.

While postdocs in David Liu’s lab at Harvard University, Alexis Komor (UCSD) and Nicole Gaudelli (Beam Therapeutics) developed a pair of CRISPR-based molecular machines known as base editors, capable of engineering precise single-base substitutions with enormous basic research and therapeutic implications.

In episode #2 of GuidePost, Kevin Davies (Executive Editor, The CRISPR Journal) travels to Lithuania to meet Virginijus Šikšnys, one of the central figures in the development of CRISPR gene editing, at his lab at the Institute of Biotechnology, Vilnius University. Siksnys is an expert in DNA-protein interactions, and in 2011-12, made critical contributions in transferring the Cas9 enzyme into E. coli and characterizing the mechanism by which it cuts DNA.
