CRISPR-Cas9 is a unique technology that enables geneticists and medical researchers to edit parts of the genome? by removing, adding or altering sections of the DNA? sequence.
It is currently the simplest, most versatile and precise method of genetic manipulation and is therefore causing a buzz in the science world.
The CRISPR-Cas9 system consists of two key molecules that introduce a change (mutation?) into the DNA. These are:
an enzyme? called Cas9. This acts as a pair of ‘molecular scissor...
