Jenomu editing ni sahihi walengwa urekebishaji wa mpangilio wa nyukleotidi wa jenomu.

Kwa upande wa CRISPR / Cas9, mwongozo RNA inachukua nafasi ya DNA protini kisheria, therefore simplifying the process. CRISPR stands forClustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)”.

The CRISPR/Cas9 system is based on a bacterial defense system against foreign DNA (e.g. virusi), whereby an RNA guided nuclease makes highly targeted cuts in the genome.

The CRISPR-Cas9 complex consists of (kuona picha hapa chini)

  • a Cas9 protein (Cas9 anasimama kwa “CRISPR kuhusishwa)
  • single kuongoza RNA (sgRNA)
