Genome editing (also known as gene editing) refers to a set of technologies that allow scientists to alter an organism's DNA. These technologies allow for the addition, removal, or modification of genetic material at specific points in the genome. There have been several ways to genome editing developed. CRISPRCas9, which stands for clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) associated protein is a recent one. Because it is faster, cheaper, more accurate, more efficient than other genome editing technologies, the CRISPR-Cas9 system has sparked a lot of interest in the scientific community.
