If DNA is life’s instruction manual, then CRISPR is like having a word processor for that manual — complete with a search, cut, and paste function. CRISPR (pronounced “crisper”) stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats — a fancy name for a genetic feature first discovered in bacteria. Think of it as a natural defense system bacteria use to recognize and destroy viruses. Scientists figured out how to repurpose this microbial trick into a precision tool for editing genes. 🔬How Does It Work? The CRISPR process relies on two main parts: Guide RNA (gRNA) – Think of it as GPS coordinates - It’s programme...
