Spiegazione semplice
The Broad Institute is a joint venture between MIT and Harvard focused on genomics. Feng Zhang and David Liu both work there, which means CRISPR in human cells, base editing and prime editing all have roots in the same building. It is also a party to the long-running CRISPR patent dispute.
