Ah, biologists

 We have a new DNA editing tool, which allows for larger changes than CRISPR.

This might allow us to do some very interesting things with bacteria, and allow us to insert entire genes into GMO animals and plants (and even, eventually, humans).

The tool is called CRISPR-Cas3, officially...

...but some people are calling it Pac-Man, because of course they are.
