Unfortunately, these projects have been discontinued.
The analogies that the article uses are very accurate. When I read about the side-effects of CRISPR I was surprised that those involved did not take measurements against this issue. Controlling which area will be edited is the key here. Also the smaller the genome area is, the more difficult it is to target it. Imagine that you need to correct the article "an" to "a" in a big text. Maybe targeting neighbouring areas without changing them is needed in order to increase the size of affected sequence. So you need to change "is an ge" to "is a ge" in "CRISPR is a gene editing technique" sentence.

I prefer Notepad++. On Linux, Geany is a viable alternative.... If I need an IDE, I will get an IDE. I want my text editor to be as lightweight as possible. This was not the case with Atom.

Re:What I Learned From an Unsuccessful Launch on Tuesday May 17, 2016 @07:16PM (#11718410)
I liked the article. Very objective and helpful. I think that estimating the impact of your solution to a problem could guide you to avoid misfires. However, I believe the experience you get from anything (success or failure) will lead you to something greater. It's a trial and error for me. Also, I think knowing when to let go of a project is an essential trait. My opinion though is that the most valuable thing we have is energy. So my comment is "pick your battles, preserve energy for a big one but be sure about the impact first". Doing some research maybe at first could help. Thank you for sharing your experience.
