CRISPR-Cas9 Probing of Infectious Diseases and Genetic Disorders

The ability to precisely change the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) bases at specific sites offers tremendous advantages in the field of molecular biology and medical biotechnology. Identification of Clustered Regularly-Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR), revelation of its role in prokaryotic adaptive immunity and subsequent conversion into genome and epigenome engineering system are the landmark research progresses of the decade. The...
