... Development of programmable nucleases could eventually enable the broad application of these or other programmable nucleases to treat human genetic diseases, develop new industrial biotechnological products, improve crop and livestock productivity, and address conservation and invasive species challenges. The first speaker, Krishanu Saha (University of Wisconsin)
