The soaring popularity of CRISPR has enabled researchers to expand biological research beyond mice and study different animal models. In fact, the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, hosts a 6-week course in developmental biology every summer where students are now applying CRISPR to understand the biology of animals.
