Gene editing is an exciting new field of genetics. This is done with the CRISPER (Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) and Cas sequence restriction enzymes.
This is a remix of my DNA Restriction Enzymes set. (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1304176)
For the sake of space I removed the space from the Phosphate groups, and condensed the CRISPER target sequence.
The CRISPER 2 file has a large cutout in it. This will help you see the DNA sequence it is replacing, and it cuts the material and print time almost in half.
You can use both pieces to show how CRISPER / Cas9 is used in gene editing.
You can also expand this to talk about bioethics, cancer treatment and the human genome.
