What is CRISPR?
This tool consists of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats or CRISPR for short. In layman’s terms, short sequences of repetitive DNA are used alongside CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas proteins) to locate and edit specific genes inside the cell. In practicality, we design a guide RNA that contains the desired heredity and matches the target gene; we then attach it to a specific Cas protein, Cas-9. Finally, the guide RNA directs Cas-9 to the target gene, where the protein disconnects the DNA sequence and inserts the RNA strand.
