This Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology news article spotlights Taconic Biosciences' Adriano Flora, PhD, an expert in custom model generation:
"The tooth-to-tail ratio, or the balance of frontline troops to support echelons, can determine success or failure in any complicated operation. Originally a military notion, the tooth-to-tail ratio also applies to commercial and scientific endeavors, such as the routinization of genome editing. Ideally, genome-editing technologies such as the CRISPR/Cas9 system should become so routine that they fade into the background.
Although CRISPR/Cas9 is a fascinating technology, the most interesting thing about this cutting and pasting machine, this RNA-guided endonuclease, is what it can accomplish in the hands of gifted researchers." Read the complete article at: Genengnews.com
