What Is CRISPR & Why Is It Important? A Concise overview.

CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat) is acomponent of bacterial immune systems that can cut DNA and has been repurposed as a gene editing tool.

It acts as a precise pair of molecular scissors that can cut a target DNA sequence, directed by a customizable guide.

CRISPR is important because it allows scientists to rewrite the genetic code in almost any organism.

It is simpler, cheaper, and more precise than previous gene editing techniques.

Moreover, it has a range of real-world applications, including curing genetic disease and creating drought-resistant crops.

An attempt has been made in this Booklet to precisely discus the Basic of CRISPR as well as several Applications in Animal models, Human diseases, and the Agriculture along with several relevant Diagrams for better understanding CRISPR.
