I'm not sure if the forum allows youtube links but here is an interview with the scientist who developed CRISPR technology and won the Nobel Prize for it (You can search CRISPR and "The Code Breaker" to find it as well):

I am not able to access the video from a Canadian ip address. If it's a cable channel link or some US specific thing, our non US members may not be able to view- is it this vid?

Shiftkicker, it seems like that is a transcript of the interview I posted from youtube. So yes, it's basically the same one.
