Duration: 1 h 5 min 7 s
Description: While postdocs in David Liu’s lab at Harvard University, Alexis Komor (UCSD) and Nicole Gaudelli (Beam Therapeutics) developed a pair of CRISPR-based molecular machines known as base editors, capable of engineering precise single-base substitutions with enormous basic research and therapeutic implications.

Gene Editing Revolution: The Power of CRISPR-Cas9  CRISPR-Cas9 is a groundbreaking gene-editing technology that has transformed the field of genetics. By harnessing a natural defense mechanism found in bacteria, scientists can now precisely target and modify specific genes within an organism's DNA. This technology allows for the removal, addition, or alteration of genetic material with unparalleled accuracy.  The potential applications of CRISPR-Cas9 are vast, ranging from curing genetic disorders and enhancing crop resilience to fighting infectious diseases and understanding complex biological processes. As we continue to explore and refine this technology, CRISPR-Cas9 could pave the way for unprecedented advancements in medicine, agriculture, and beyond.  + CRISPR TECHNOLOGY IS THE NEAR FUTURE!
