From Bacterial Defense to Gene Editing Tool The implications of Doudna and Charpentier’s CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) discovery were monumental. Scientists realized that if they could program CRISPR-Cas9 to target specific DNA sequences in bacteria, they could use this technology in any organism. This adaptability transformed it into a gene-editing tool of… Continue reading CRISPR:
