CRISPR, which stands for "Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats," is a revolutionary gene-editing technology that allows scientists to precisely modify DNA within living organisms. CRISPR technology utilizes RNA molecules and a protein called Cas9 to target and edit specific genes. It has gained immense popularity for its efficiency, precision, and versatility in various applications, ranging from biomedical research and gene therapy to agriculture and functional genomics.
