CRISPR-CAS9, THE GENETIC SCISSOR

In the modern society, gene editing technology is a part of our lives. Genome editing refers to a series of technologies that allow doctors to manipulate an organisms DNA. These technologies allow for the addition, removal, or modification of genetic material at specific parts in the genome.Therefore, it is crucial to understand the process and the influence of it. In this study, our main focus will be on the gene editing technology named CRISPR-Cas9, which is short for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats. The CRISPR-Cas9 system is connected with the protein 9. The medical society is thrilled about this technology because it is more time efficient, more precise, and more inexpensive than other methods. In this paper, we will start with general information about the CRISPR-Cas9 system then move on to a more complex concept. For instance, what will happen if CRISPR modifies non-targeted genes, how CRISPR can assist in curing disease, and the relationship of CRISPR and Covid-19 vaccine. Moreover, we will discuss how CRISPR is associated with the world in the topic of positive and negative effects as well as enhancement in the future.
