CRISPR

A clear introduction to CRISPR gene-editing technology: how it works, what it can be used for, and the ethical questions it raises for science and society. CRISPR, short for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, is a molecular tool that allows scientists to locate and alter specific sequences of DNA with a degree of precision not previously available to researchers. This book, generated by artificial intelligence, offers an accessible introduction to how CRISPR works, where it came from, and what it is being used for today. You will find clear explanations of the underlying biology, an account of the scientific developments that led to its current applications, and a discussion of its roles in medicine, agriculture, and basic research. The book also addresses the ethical and regulatory questions that this technology raises. No prior knowledge of genetics or molecular biology is required.
