    GlossaryGene Editing

    technique to precisely alter an organism's DNA sequence

    Gene editing, also known as genome editing, is a technique that allows scientists to alter an organism's DNA with high precision. This process involves adding, removing, or modifying specific genetic material at particular locations in the genome, often using tools like CRISPR-Cas9. It holds potential for treating genetic disorders, improving crop resilience, and even addressing hair loss conditions like alopecia by targeting and correcting the underlying genetic causes.
