Summary Introduction

To analyze: How to use the CRISPR-Cas9 system to correct the mutation if is it worth doing.

Introduction: DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is considered the main genetic material which carries genetic information in the form of genes which are the nucleotide sequences having nitrogenous bases. Any random change in this base sequence is termed a mutation. There are several types of mutation known, out of all when only one base changes from the sequence resulting in the change in the amino acid it is coding for is known as a point mutation.

. Early gene-cloning experiments involved insertion at one restriction site in the vector; for example, the insert would have an EcoRI site at each end, and the vector would be opened at an RI site prior to ligation. Under what circumstances would asymmetric cloning be desirable, with the inset having a different restriction site at each end
