How does CRISPR-Cas9 work?
The DNA editing technique works similar to the 'find and replace' function of a word processing program.
An enzyme complex containing :
- Guide Molecule
- DNA- cutting enzyme
- Healthy DNA strand
A specially designed synthetic guide molecule locates the target DNA strand
is introduced in the cell
The enzyme cuts off the target DNA strand
The defective DNA strand is replaced by a healthy DNA strand
