CRISPR
Definition
Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, a revolutionary genome editing technology derived from bacterial adaptive immune systems. The CRISPR-Cas9 system uses a guide RNA (gRNA) to direct the Cas9 nuclease to a specific DNA sequence, creating a double-strand break that can be repaired by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or homology-directed repair (HDR) for precise genome modifications.
In Practice
CRISPR is widely used in genome editing and related fields. Key applications include:
- Research and experimental design in molecular biology laboratories
- Clinical diagnostics and therapeutic development pipelines
- Automated validation within VigyanLLM's 24-step primer design and analysis framework
