Overview

Gene editing is a genetic engineering technique that enables precise modifications to an organism's DNA. This emerging technology has the potential to revolutionize various fields, including medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology. With the help of gene editing tools like CRISPR, zinc finger nuclease, and TALEN, scientists can now make specific changes to an organism's genome to achieve desired results. The technology has sparked debate and discussion about its potential benefits and risks. Key organizations involved in the development of gene editing include the National Institutes of Health and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
