Who will win the presidential election? The Trump trade offers a clue
- Fortune

To be sure, many presidential polls in the last few cycles were well
off the mark (and often underestimated Trump’s support). As a
result, some election watchers have turned to betting markets for a
more accurate reading, arguing that those who put money on the line
have a greater incentive to make an accurate call.

The U.S. Dollar Index, which measures the greenback against a basket
of top global currencies, has rallied 2% so far this month. The
10-year Treasury yield has surged about 40 basis points. That’s as
Trump’s tariffs and tax cuts are expected to boost the dollar and
deepen U.S. debt, putting upward pressure on bond yields.

A study of a gene key to breaking down carbohydrates started
duplicating itself in humans over 800,000 years ago? well before the
dawn of agriculture. A team of researchers report in Science that the

humans split from neanderthal. It plays an essential role in producing

Beyond gene-edited babies: the possible paths for tinkering with human

In 2016, I attended a large meeting of journalists in Washington, DC.
The keynote speaker was Jennifer Doudna, who just a few years before
had co-invented CRISPR, a revolutionary method of changing genes that
was sweeping across biology labs because it was so easy to use. With
its discovery, Doudna explained, humanity had achieved the ability to
change its own fundamental molecular nature. And that capability came
with both possibility and danger. One of her biggest fears, she said,
was ?waking up one morning and reading about the first CRISPR baby??a
child with deliberately altered genes baked in from the start.
