A team of researchers led by Axel Visel at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has replaced part of a mouse's DNA—a small sequence known as ZRS— with the equivalent sequence from a snake.

Jeff and Anthony discuss the ramifications of these gene modifiers, and what it could mean for our future.
