Gene editing is a technique used to make precise changes to the DNA of living organisms. It involves the use of special enzymes to cut and modify DNA strands, allowing scientists to alter the genetic makeup of an organism and potentially cure genetic diseases. Gene editing has the potential to revolutionize medicine and
CRISPR gene editing is a genetic engineering technique in molecular biology by which the genomes of living organisms may be modified. It is based on a simplified version of the bacterial CRISPR-Cas9 antiviral defense system. By delivering the Cas9 nuclease complexed with a synthetic guide RNA (gRNA) into a cell, the cell's genome can be cut at a desired location, allowing existing genes to be removed or new ones added in vivo.
