CRISPR-Cas9 and the Future: Unlocking the Power of Gene Editing Across Fields

|

What Is CRISPR-Cas9? CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) consists of repeating DNA sequences in bacteria. CRISPR-Cas9 functions like a molecular pair of scissors guided by a Global Positioning System (GPS). These repeats store snippets of viruses that previously attacked the bacteria, acting like a memory to recognise viruses later (Martín-Valmaseda et al., 2023).
