Details:CRISPR-Cas (Genetic Scissors) are adaptive immune response systems that protect prokaryotes from bacteriophages. It stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats. The discovery of the type II prokaryotic CRISPR “immune system” has allowed for the development for an RNA-guided genome editing tool that is simple, easy and quick to implement.

CRISPR genome editing has revolutionized the biological sciences, from medicine to agriculture and industry, making it possible to edit the DNA sequence of any living organism.
