Genome editing (also called gene editing) is a set of technologies that enable scientists to change the genetic code in the living cells of an organism. They make it possible to make specific changes to a particular location in the genome in a controlled way. One of the approaches is known as CRISPR-Cas9. The “Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats and CRISPR-associated protein 9”, or CRISPR-Cas9 for short, was discovered by a team of CRISPR pioneers led by biochemists Emmanuelle Charpentier...
