    gene-editing tool that precisely alters DNA sequences

    CRISPR, which stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, is a revolutionary gene-editing technology that allows scientists to precisely alter DNA sequences within organisms. It utilizes the Cas9 protein to cut DNA at specific locations, enabling the addition, removal, or modification of genetic material, which has vast implications for treating genetic disorders, improving crops, and advancing biological research.
