CRISPRCassystemet
CRISPR-Cas system is a powerful tool for editing genomes, developed by the discovery of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins in bacteria. The system works by using a guide RNA to direct Cas proteins to a specific location in the genome, where they can cut and repair DNA. This allows for precise and efficient editing of genes, making it a valuable tool for research and potential therapeutic applications.
The CRISPR-Cas system was first discovered in 1987, but it was not until 2012 that scientists developed
CRISPR-Cas9 has been used to edit a wide range of genes, including those involved in disease. For
While CRISPR-Cas9 is a powerful tool, it also has potential risks. For example, it can cause off-target
Despite these risks, CRISPR-Cas9 has the potential to revolutionize medicine and biology. It offers a new way
