What Is CRISPR | Vibepedia

CRISPR is a family of DNA sequences found in prokaryotic organisms, which play a crucial role in their antiviral defense system. The CRISPR system consists of two main components: the CRISPR array, which contains the spacer sequences, and the Cas enzyme, which uses these sequences to recognize and cut the target DNA. The use of CRISPR has been explored in the development of novel diagnostics and has the potential to improve crop yields and disease resistance in agriculture.
