The drawback to the technology is that it typically can only be used to disrupt a deleterious gene underlying a specific trait. Gene writing exploits a natural process in cells that allows researchers to install genes of interest, allowing replacement of damaged sequences that lead to negative health outcomes. Dr. Geoff von Maltzahn of Tessera describes what the new technology is and its most likely applications, particularly in the area of correcting genetic disease.<br> Twitter: Tessera <a href="http://www.twitter.com/tesseratx">@TesseraTx</a><br> Dr. Geoffrey von Maltzahn; <a href="http://www.twitter.com/gvmaltzahn">@GVMaltzahn</a><br> <br>
