CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) is part of a naturally occurring microbial genome editing system that provides microbes with a defense against viruses. Significant scientific breakthroughs developed the CRISPR system into a gene-editing tool that could be used in cells from humans, animals, and plants. The first class of a two-class sequence will focus on an overview of genome editing and CRISPR technology.
