Generation

CRISPR is a precise molecular tool that works like "find and replace" for DNA. It uses a guide RNA to locate a specific genetic sequence in your genome, then an enzyme called Cas9 acts as molecular scissors to cut the DNA at that exact spot. Once cut, scientists can delete problematic genes, repair mutations, or insert new genetic code as the cell naturally repairs the break. This technology has revolutionized genetics because it's faster, cheaper, and more accurate than previous gene-editing methods.
