Summary Introduction
To identify: The role of CRISPR for genome editing.
Introduction:
Genome editing is a new advance in DNA technology that is used for the removal, insertion or replacement of a gene into a specific targeted sequence of an organism. CRISPR is a method for genome editing that is widely used.
CRISPR is an abbreviation for Clustered Regulatory Interspaced Palindromeic Repeats. This method is used for the editing of genome in an organism. This is an effective method that targets specific sequences in the genome to remove or replace a gene within organisms and plays an important role in the plant defense.
