CRISPR Cas9 is the most precise genetic engineering system we have available, it is the pinnacle of our technology. It is used to modify the DNA of a cell or a specific organism. In fact, CRISPR is a so-called molecular scissors that is able to cut DNA at a predetermined point. Today I will tell you about the applications: treatment of diseases, of course, but also ethical issues such as the possibility of creating bacteriological weapons or modifying the genome of human embryos. This is the third video in a series on CRISPR Cas9 in Italian. 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 Hello person!
