أكثرThe CRISPR sequence, which occurs naturally, serves as a defensive mechanism found in a diverse range of bacteria. It acts as a storage unit for a potent viral weapon that aids in identifying and safeguarding bacteria against future attacks from hostile viruses. Another line of defense possessed by these bacteria consists of enzymes called CAS (CRISPR-associated proteins). It is these CAS enzymes that enable precise cutting and replacement of specific sections of DNA, both from invading viruses and within the genome itself.
Despite being in the early stages of practical implementation, CRISPR holds the promise of eventually enabling the editing and repair of genetic diseases, including but not limited to Inherited Ataxia, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Thalassemia, Sickle cell disease, and Hemochromatosis.
