CRISPR gene editing quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the CRISPR gene editing card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
It is based on a ______ version of the bacterial CRISPR-Cas9 antiviral defense system.
Answer
simplified. It is based on a simplified version of the bacterial CRISPR-Cas9 antiviral defense system. From the CRISPR gene editing article on Wikipedia.
Which of these Wikipedia articles is read the most in a year?
Answer
Electronic cigarette. Electronic cigarette 420,000 · Antibiotic 250,000 · CRISPR gene editing 140,000 · List of interstellar and circumstellar molecules 68,000 Wikipedia reads over a year.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is based on a simplified version of the bacterial CRISPR-Cas9 antiviral defense system.
- By delivering the Cas9 nuclease complexed with a synthetic guide RNA into a cell, the cell's genome can be cut at a desired location, allowing existing genes to be removed or new ones added in vivo.
- The technique is considered highly significant in biotechnology and medicine as it enables in vivo genome editing and is considered exceptionally precise, cost-effective, and efficient.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The CRISPR gene editing article was read about 140,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 93 and blocks with 97: each hit it takes is cut by 39 %.
How to get CRISPR gene editing
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
