Gene Therapy and CRISPR cas-9

More about CRISPR cas-9: CRISPR cas-9 was first discovered in bacteria in 1986-87. It was thoroughly studied in 2007 and in 2012, it was used for human genome editing for the first time. According to the world-famous journal The Science, it was the biggest scientific achievement of the decade. The genetic sequence of g-RNA can be modified and changed so that it can target the faulty gene in the human genome and this can be used to remove the faulty gene.This CRISPR cas-9 technique is so important that even a noble award has been given for its discovery. CRISPR cas-9 is the most advanced and most accurate technology to modify or edit the genome of an organism. CRISPR cas-9 is naturally present in bacteria as an immunity system against bacteriophage. Benefits of CRISPR Cas-9: CRISPR cas-9 will give a major boost to gene therapy because of its accuracy. In 2017, American doctors used this technology to edit the genome of an embryo for the treatment of the heart d...
