CRISPR Gene editing

CRISPR gene editing

A programmable system adapted from microbial defense to target selected DNA sequences.

Overview

EXPLORE BY LEVEL

CRISPR tools use a guide molecule to bring a DNA-cutting protein to a matching DNA sequence. The cell's repair process then determines the outcome.
