CRISPR gene editing
CRISPR gene editing is a genetic engineering technique in molecular biology. 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 into a cell, the cell’s genome can be cut at a desired location. The development of the technique earned Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier...
