微小細菌的免疫系統，如何變成強大的基因編輯技術， 這項科技又如何成為掌控生物演化的力量， CRISPR革命即將帶來前所未見的影響，我們準備好了嗎？ 重量級推薦 周成功｜陽明大學生命科學系暨基因體科學研究所退休教授 林欣榮｜花蓮慈濟醫院院長 凌嘉鴻｜中央研究院生化所助研究員 廖俊智｜中央研究院院長 閻　雲｜臺北醫學大學講座教授暨前校長 （依姓氏筆畫排列） CRISPR基因編輯技術帶來的革命正在全面展開， 波及地球上的所有生命，你我都無法置身事外。 CRISPR原本是自然界中細菌的一種免疫系統，能鎖定入侵的病毒，剪碎它們的DNA。經過科學家的解密，利用這種系統的定位與切割功能，把它變成最簡單、便宜又有效的基因編輯工具。如今我們幾乎可以用CRISPR來編輯每一種生物DNA上的字母，到了隨心所欲的地步。 這項基因編輯技術問世才短短幾年的時間，已經成功製造出能夠抵抗病害的水稻、無法傳播瘧疾的蚊子、還有不再長角的牛，並可望開發出治療癌症、遺傳疾病及愛滋病等疾病的療法。甚至有科學家正在讓滅絕的猛獁象復活，還有人想要把訂製寵物、訂製嬰兒發展成一門產業。 現今每一種生物的基因組成，都是長達幾十億年的演化傑作，現在透過CRISPR，只要短短幾天，就可以快速改編所有基因。人類接手了演化的力量，能夠左右所有生物未來的命運，這似乎帶來無限前景，但也可能帶來駭人危機，像是無意間擴大遺傳不平等，或使一個物種消失。 道納是解開CRISPR機制的科學家之一，與研究夥伴史騰伯格合力寫下本書，親自導覽這趟驚心動魄的發現歷程，以及令人嘆為觀止的科學原理、各種實用或充滿想像力的應用，以及未來的展望和隱憂。 微小細菌的免疫系統，如何變成強大的基因編輯技術， 這項科技又如何成為掌控生物演化的力量， CRISPR革命即將帶來前所未見的影響，我們準備好了嗎？ 得獎紀錄 ★...
