The central dogma of biology is getting cucked.

>DNA transcribed to RNA and translated to protein
>But only 1% of genome codes proteins
>What does the other 99% do?

Bacteria use CRISPR, humans have siRNAs that help form embryos. Scientists use gene KOs to verify findings also, so it has an academic use. I'm sorry it's taking more than 30 years from its discovery before we can make master race babies and, in general, a bunch of affronts to humanity and gruesome horrors with it. There's red tape around using it because you have to be super sure you're not making extra infectious diseases or wanton human experiments.
