To mask my ignorance and for the layperson in the audience at home, I want to ask a question that has already been asked. What is the biggest distinction between GMO and CRISPR in terms of the specifics? I understood that one technique involved two different organisms, but Dr. McLoughlin is saying that CRISPR could also use two organisms. What is the biggest distinction in terms of process and outcome?
