CRISPR
Gene Editing and Beyond
DESCRIPTION
CRISPR-Cas9 is a tool for cutting DNA at a specifically chosen location. This technique has revolutionized gene editing.
The animation was created in extensive collaboration with the Nature.com scientific team. It provides an overview of the components of CRISPR-Cas9 and explains several ways in which scientists use the technology to alter DNA, promote gene transcription, and visualize the genome.
