What is Gene Editing?
Gene editing is a powerful new tool for making precise changes to the DNA of a cell or organism. It enables scientists to add, remove, or alter genetic material at particular locations in the genome. CRISPR-Cas9 is one of the most popular technologies used in gene editing.
Applications of Gene Editing
- Medicine: Treating genetic disorders at the DNA level.
- Agriculture: Creating crops with improved traits such as drought resistance.
- Conservation: Protecting endangered species by correcting genetic defects.
