What is it

CRISPR, which stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, is a relatively new gene-editing technique based off of a bacteria defense system. Generally speaking, it is a “programmable” system that targets and edits specific pieces of DNA. This technique can also be used as a diagnostic tool.
At first, the concept of “gene-editing” could seem like part of a dystopian sci-fi nightmare in which we have an ethically murky amount of control over our biology. But as the technology has progressed and the incredible potential of gene-editing has been further explored, CRISPR is seen much more as an innovative tool that has the potential to save lives.

What can we do with it

  • Deleting a Gene
  • Adding a New Gene
  • Activating Dead Genes
  • Controlling Gene Activity Level

Why is CRISPR-CAS9 so important?
