The journal will not only publish peer-reviewed research papers, but, also commentaries, personal stories, information from companies, and editorials.
The first editorial, written by [editor-in-chief Rodolphe] Barrangou, is named, “Keep Calm and CRISPR On” and sets the stage for the wide range of topics found in the issue.
Other topics in the first issue are a wide range of CRISPR related areas of research, including both historical perspectives and cutting edge research.
