Question
Chapter 11, Problem 12WIO
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The use of gene editing tool CRISPR Cas9.
Introduction:
A new technique called CRISPR-Cas 9 has several scientific applications. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats are known as CRISPR. These occur spontaneously in some bacteria as a form of viral defense. Endonucleases in this instance cleave the deoxyribonucleic acid sequence at certain locations.
