Recent developments in genome editing have opened the door for exploring biological mechanisms of health and disease. On January 10-11, 2018, the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Standing Committee on Emerging Science for Environmental Health Decisions conducted a 2-day workshop to explore what role genome and epigenome editing tools could play in advancing environmental health research and decision-making. This month, they released the proceedings of the workshop which highlights the presentation and discussions.
