It is a powerful nucleic acid-targeting editing tools for genome, which allows researchers to easily alter DNA sequences and modify gene function. In this technology, protein Cas9 or CRISPR, which is an enzyme that acts as a pair of molecular scissors that is capable of cutting strands of DNA. It has many potential applications including correcting genetic defects, treating and preventing the spread of diseases, and improving crops. It is faster, cheaper, and more precise than previous techniques of editing DNA like ZFNs (Zinc Finger Nucleases) and TALENs (Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases). Researchers are involved in using this technology in animal models or isolated human cells, with the aim to eventually use the technology for routinely treating diseases in humans.
