Abstract
Clustered regularly interspaced short #palindromicrepeat (CRISPR) and
CRISPR associated protein 9 (Cas9) form a complex known as
CRISPR-Cas9, which is an efficient tool for gene editing that was
discovered through the study of bacterial defense mechanisms against
foreign #nucleic acids. This technology allows for the knock-out or knock-in of
specific DNA sequences. Therefore, CRISPR-Cas9 may provide a new
method to abrogate the effects of genes that lead to disease or
introduce genes that promote improvements in health. The powerful nature
of
these potential uses can be illustrated by considering the #geneticbases of #diseases such as cancer or #obesity. Clearly, there will be many
ethical
debates about the future of this technology to alter genetic function.
