CRISPR Cas9
CRISPR Cas9 is a powerful technology that allows researchers to precisely alter the DNA of living organisms. It consists of a specialized protein (Cas9) and a short RNA molecule that guides the protein to a specific target sequence in the DNA. Once there, the Cas9 protein cuts the DNA, allowing researchers to either remove, add, or replace genetic material. This technology has revolutionized the field of genetic engineering and has the potential to greatly impact fields such as medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology.
