Introduction:

CRISPR-Cas9 is a genome editing tool. It helps researchers to edit or change the gene from the genome of an organism. CRISPR stands for clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats. They are found in the DNA sequence of the bacteria and archaea. By using the Cas9 enzyme, one can cut the targeted DNA and then make changes in the DNA. DNA repair system or machinery then fixes the DNA.
