    Gene-Editing
    By: Ian Van der Merwe

    What it is
    CRISPR
    Stands for clustered
    regularly interspaced
    palindromic repeat
    DNA sequencing

    Cas9

    CRISPR associated protein

    Forms base pairs with DNA targeted sequences

    Why its in the news


    Easy to use
    Affordable
    Can be used with seemingly any type of cell

    Previous uses
    Correct genetic disease in mice germ cells
    Modified the genome of silkworm and frog embryos
    Reportedly human embryos
    (with limited success)

    Why its not being used now


    Many scientist dont agree with its use
    Consent
    Still a large risk
