CRISPR-Cas9: A Revolution in Precise Genome Editing

Three decades ago, interfering with human DNA seemed like science fiction, but today CRISPR-Cas9 has already changed the practice of biomedicine. The tool was borrowed from bacteria: when a microbe encounters a virus, the Cas9 protein cuts its genome precisely along a given “address line” of RNA. Scientists have adapted this mechanism to cut out defective sections of DNA and insert correct ones.
