Generation

CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) is a gene-editing technology that uses a guide RNA to direct the Cas9 enzyme to a specific DNA sequence, where it makes a precise cut. The cell's natural repair mechanisms then fix the break, allowing scientists to delete, modify, or insert genes. The targeting specificity follows **Watson-Crick base pairing rules** (A-T, G-C), where the ~20 nucleotide guide RNA must complementarily match the target DNA sequence adjacent to a PAM (Protospacer Adjacent Motif) sequence. This technology has revolutionized genetic engineering due to its precision, efficiency, and relative simplicity compared to previous methods.
