In ancient China, it was used to make paper.<\/p>\n<p>Pao took rice stalks from plants edited with CRISPR and ground the fibers into pulp. She then poured the pulp over a mesh screen. Every time she dipped the screen into water, the plant fibers would lift and resettle on top of the mesh, eventually making paper. Through the genome-edited rice plant, an ancient practice was juxtaposed with cutting-edge technology. Pao\u2019s meditative ritual of papermaking is a counterbalance to the strangeness of the source material.<br \/> [Show ID: 37388]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.berkeley.edu\/story_jump\/crispaper-understanding-gene-editing-through-art\/\">https:\/\/news.berkeley.edu\/story_jump\/crispaper-understanding\u2026rough-art\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/news.berkeley.edu\/\">http:\/\/news.berkeley.edu\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UCBerkeley\">http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UCBerkeley<\/a>.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/UCBerkeley\">http:\/\/twitter.com\/UCBerkeley<\/a>.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/ucberkeleyofficial\">http:\/\/instagram.com\/ucberkeleyofficial<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Please Note: Knowledge about health and medicine is constantly evolving.
