Have you noticed just how many genetic technology in US is actually made in China? Boston companies may have high profile, but all the dirty work is done in China by research outsourcing labs staffed with interns.
Do you have a source for this? This may be true in other fields but most genome editing industry work is almost certainly done stateside.
I don't think this is true. i work with a people who are CRISPR experts, what's happening in cambridge (not boston) is legit and local.
