What Is CRISPR | Glucose Watches

CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) is a family of DNA sequences found in the genomes of prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria and archaea. This technology has been harnessed as a powerful tool for gene editing through the use of [[cas9|Cas9]] enzymes, with far-reaching implications for fields such as medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology. CRISPR has been recognized through prestigious awards, such as the [[breakthrough-prize|Breakthrough Prize]].
