Through years of engineering gene-editing systems, researchers have developed a suite of tools that enable the modification of genomes in living cells, akin to "genome surgery." These tools, including ones based on a natural system known as CRISPR/Cas9, offer enormous potential for addressing unmet clinical needs, underscored by the recent FDA approval of the first CRISPR/Cas9-based therapy.

Dr. Tana Wood, an ecologist with the U.S. Forest Service, is running experiments to see what might happen to forests if temperatures rise by seven degrees Fahrenheit, the worst-case scenario by the end of the century. Among the impacts, it appears forests could lose some of their ability to absorb carbon, which contributes to rising temperatures. David Schechter has the story.
