Heh. That was the first thing that popped to mind too. But it might be best to avoid the topic. Still, genetic engineering is marching ever-closer. ▶ this video
For the surely upcoming discussion about pros and cons of genetic editing in humans, Kurzgesagt has a basic overview of the space, if you can spare some 15 minutes with your morning coffee. ▶ this video (not affiliated, just love their videos)
Many new immune system tools are being developed. MinION is now used for T-Cell and B-Cell characterization by reading immune response to breast cancer. Can you create a AS model? link I can send a model, Python DNA Plotter, of an Oxford nanopore DNA sequencer(MinION), shows what a Mu DNA plotter simulation may look like. Students can now learn python programming and DNA sequencing in school, using Mu python to simulate MinION. NMSU is using MinION: link MinION, how it works video: link Python is the most widely used computer language: link link A cheap $1K sequencer, MinION, models immune response to immunotherapy? link Can we then create a cheaper CRISPR test? To cassify AS? Could a CRISPR test correlate immune response to TCR/CRISPR? ▶ this video What works best (chemo vs other) per immune response DNA? See Mammoth Bio CRISPR paper test. link NCGR has trained NHS/UK in DNA diagnostics in this internship. link link I would study Machine Learning as it is now used for DNA. link I used AI/shotgun sequencing on the US Human Genome Project.
For anyone unfamiliar with CRISPR, I strongly recommend this quick introduction video from Kurzgesagt on YouTube: ▶ this video
