Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (or CRISPR for short) is a process in which DNA strands are cut at specific locations so that they can naturally repair themselves.

As mentioned before, CRISPR describes the process in which a faulty segment of DNA is removed and is replaced with a properly functioning piece.
To be more specific, the Cas9 Enzyme (which is found in CRISPR) first enters the DNA sequence and cuts out the faulty strand. For the Cas9 Enzyme to cut the correct spot, a guide RNA is used.
Once the faulty strand is successfully removed, CRISPR generates a double-stranded DNA break which triggers cellular DNA repair pathways that correct the genome.

CRISPR is one of the most fascinating innovations of the 21st century and has almost limitless applications. As we understand the domain better, we can improve existing technologies to the point where we can create more biologically advanced humans.
Although the prospect of more advanced humans is incredibly riveting, it has a large amount of ethical issues alongside it.
Overall, the study is one of great importance to the scientific community, and will remain as such for the foreseeable future.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
