We are on the verge a massive, global change, much like the early days of the Internet.
Blockchain technology, extremely secure distributed ledgers, will soon displace legacy
databases and their bloated infrastructure in dozens of industries from Wall Street to
supply chain management. Secure, running records of verified transactions get chained
together and replicated in nodes across blockchain networks. Blockchains will speed up
the global economy by allowing companies to complete global transactions faster
across borders while guaranteeing data integrity.
Physical, legal, and financial transactions are tied together in a Blockchain, a series of
transactions recorded in a distributed ledger without the need for a centralized authority.
The economic impact is enormous; Blockchains will account for trillions of dollars in
transactions across key industries including healthcare, insurance, real estate,
government, banking, and financial markets by 2020.
Is Blockchain all that it is cracked up to be? What companies stand to lose the most
from Blockchain adoption? Will Blockchain save businesses and consumers save
billions of dollars by reducing losses from theft and fraud?

Rewriting DNA: Big Returns from Gene Editing
Imagine cutting and pasting genes in DNA, just
like editing words in a document on a
computer. CRISPR-Cas9 technology does just
that, making it possible to replace genetic
material with a simpler, cheaper, more precise
method than ever before. Dubbed “the biggest
biotech discovery of the century” supporters of
CRISPR call out benefits such as potential
cures for diseases like cancer, malaria, and
cystic fibrosis; increased crop yields; and
correcting genetic defects. Opponents raise
ethical concerns citing the law of unintended
consequences, designer babies, and
interspecies organ transplants.
With the market for gene editing expected to
reach $3.5 billion by 2019, the stakes for
companies, scientists, and entrepreneurs are
high with battles already being waged over
patents. Notably, pharmaceutical companies
are jumping in to protect their interests, too.
Will the winner take all? Can CRISPR
eradicate viruses like AIDS and Zika? Can
science truly control genetics?

CRISPR-Cas9 technology does just that, making it possible to replace genetic material with a simpler, cheaper, more precise method than ever before. Dubbed “the biggest biotech discovery of the century” supporters of CRISPR call out benefits such as potential cures for diseases like cancer, malaria, and cystic fibrosis; increased crop yields; and correcting genetic defects. Opponents raise ethical concerns citing the law of unintended consequences, designer babies, and interspecies organ transplants. With the market for gene editing expected to reach $3.5 billion by 2019, the stakes for companies, scientists, and entrepreneurs are high with battles already being waged over patents. Notably, pharmaceutical companies are jumping in to protect their interests, too. Will the winner take all? Can CRISPR eradicate viruses like AIDS and Zika? Can science truly control genetics?
