1 What is CRISPR? A guide to what CRISPR is and its far-reaching applications in healthcare, agriculture, & more. 2 The presentation will also be sent to you. Feel free to share with colleagues. The resolution of some slides may be suboptimal due to the webinar software. Those slides will look fine in the presentation that we send you. Briefing recording will be distributed http://support.citrixonline.com/en_US/Webinar W I T H I N 2 4 H O U R S 3 @cbinsights @ja_lee2 #WhatIsCRISPR J O I N T H E C O N V E R S A T I O N O N T W I T T E R 4 W H O W E A R E The technology market intelligence platform. CB Insights software lets you predict, discuss, and communicate emerging technology trends using data in ways that are beyond human cognition. We are a leader in the Expert Automation & Augmentation Software (EAAS) space. 5 T R U S T E D B Y T H E W O R L D ' S L E A D I N G C O M P A N I E S "We use CB Insights to find emerging trends and interesting companies that might signal a shift in technology or require us to reallocate resources." Beti Cung, Corporate Strategy, Microsoft 6 PARTICIPATING COMPANIES CBI Councils bring together experienced executives to accelerate their success through the sharing of experience-based insights that inform business decisions and help solve complex strategic, organizational, and growth challenges. If you are an EVP, SVP, or C-level executive at a company doing $1B+ in revenue, request an invite by emailing councils@cbsinghts.com.

Jennifer Doudna, PhD A Crack in Creation: Gene Editing and the Unthinkable Power to Control Evolution 21 Mammoth Diagnostics provides a CRISPR-based platform for disease detection. It uses a simple paper-based test in which a liquid sample (e.g. saliva) is applied and subsequently, a color change becomes visible. A smartphone app can be used to upload that data to the cloud, in which an analysis is delivered in 30 minutes.

By tethering a modified CRISPR enzyme and an editing enzyme together, this technology allows editing to occur without cutting into the DNA at all.
