CRISPR

CRISPR technology, originally found in bacteria as a defense mechanism, has revolutionized genetic research and biomedicine. This innovative tool allows precise editing of DNA, enabling rapid development of cell and animal models for disease research and diagnostics.

CRISPR

it cuts the DNA disabling the virus

Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats

Replace a mutant gene with an healthy copy

Used by bacteria to protect themselves from infections

Cas9
It can target multiple genes simultaneously
it's used to understand the function of genes
it could cut any DNA sequence at a chosen location

It can quickly create cell and animal models

used for research into diseases
rapid diagnostic

Limitations

Ethical issues
violation of the order of nature

formation of chimeras for organ transplantation

non-therapeutic interventions

to match genetics to life interests

application of CRISPR on human germline

possibility to alter human genes

absence of regulations for consumers
