CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) is a genome-editing technology derived from bacterial immune systems. It allows for precise modifications to DNA by using a guide RNA to target specific sequences and the Cas9 enzyme to cut the DNA. Applications include correcting genetic defects, treating diseases, enhancing agricultural crops, and potentially combating pathogens.
