CRISPR and dewar flask: what they have in common
- Step 1. CRISPR — evolved from — Recombinant DNA. Precise editing.
- Step 2. Recombinant DNA — uses — DNA double helix. Working with DNA.
- Step 3. DNA double helix — uses — X-ray crystallography. Rosalind Franklin’s Photo 51.
- Step 4. X-ray crystallography — uses — X-rays. X-ray diffraction.
- Step 5. X-rays — uses — Vacuum. Röntgen discovered the rays while experimenting with a discharge in an evacuated Crookes tube.
- Step 6. Vacuum — is used in — Dewar flask. A vacuum.
