The Modern Period
CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) is a revolutionary gene-editing technology that allows scientists to modify DNA with high precision. This system was originally discovered in bacteria as a defense mechanism against viruses, and it has since been adapted for use in various organisms, leading to advancements in genetics and biotechnology. The ability to edit genes quickly and accurately has profound implications for medicine, agriculture, and the understanding of genetic diseases.
