Crispr now cuts and splices whole chromosomes
People who work in or near genetic engineering:<p>CRISPR seems to solve the problem of editing DNA to contain arbitrary human-designed data. Are there major caveats or limitations to this that people outside the field don&#x27;t recognize? e.g. is delivery to the right cells a major obstacle?<p>If editing is solved, it seems like the major remaining problem is designing the right data to insert. I&#x27;d imagine this is a much vaster problem than editing. What are the major subproblems there? What does the frontier look like?<p>Besides the mechanics of editing and designing the sequences to insert, what other major problems stand in the way of sci-fi level genetic engineering?
