CRISPR-Cas9 technique


 Technology enter our life rapidly without our permission, and now a day technology is very important in our life and we can't live without it because it makes our life very easy in everything without exception but specifically in medicine tools. One of the newly techniques that made a very big changes in the medical life is CRISPR-Cas9 technique. Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats-Cas9 is a genome editing technique it is faster, cheaper, and more accurate than the previous techniques of DNA editing and has wide range of potential application. 

What is CRISPR-Cas9 ?

CRISPR-Cas9 is a unique technology that enable geneticists and medical researchers to edit parts of the genome by removing, adding or altering sections of the DNA sequence. now a day, it is the simplest, more versatile and precise method of genetic manipulation and therefore causing a big changes in the science world. 

How does it work?



What are the applications and implications?
CRISPR-Cas9 has a lot of potential as a tool for treating a range of medical conditions that have a genetic component, including cancer, hepatitis B or even high cholesterol.

  1. I was planning on doing some research about this technology, and now I know the basics thanks to your blog! Did you know that this gene-editing technique caused a major ethical debate around the world? Some people actually believe that scientists who edit DNA are "Playing God".
