Crispr - Cas9 in Gene Editing

Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats or simply CRISPR is a basic gene editing tool that is present among many bacteria as an immune system, allowing them to fight off against invading bacteriophages. However, with the advancement in biotechnology and gene editing tools, scientists and genetic engineers can modify it to edit parts of a genome to get desired traits. This research paper looks into the history and functioning of the CRISPR mechanism, its applications in addressing many global problems, and ethical considerations that must be taken into account. When we have a clear picture of such information, we realize the potential it has in shaping the world around us while delving into the fascinating world of molecular biolog.
