Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all diseases could be cured one day? Well, gene-editing has the power! CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) is a shorthand for CRISPR-Cas9. Being a gene-editing tool, it is a family of DNA sequences found in genomes of prokaryotes like bacteria and archaea. Apart from human beings, its applications extend to other organisms too. The tool allows better and faster tinkering with the genes by which models of diseases are created with higher proficiency. Their growth is evaluated, helping scientists develop improved treatment options. In short, CRISPR is a tool for correcting gene defects.
