• In a Nutshell: Genome Editing and the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry

  … it’s the CRISPR/Cas9 method that we’re talking about, you begin with choosing a target ― a DNA sequence that you want to edit. Then, researchers prepare a construct that contains the cas complex (a protein, endonuclease, that uses RNA to find a target in the DNA and disrupt the sequence) and a tag for our target, and transform the object with it. It’s possible to cr…

  …ational collapse (or contraction) of stars at the final stage of their evolution. For a star to become a black hole, it has to have the mass of around 45 Suns, so that the remains of the star wouldn’t have enough support from the pressure of degenerated gas and will have to collapse into a black hole. Only a low-mass black hole can be the outcome of that, while the b…
