1980s
2015
The CRISPR/Cas system can be used
.
for mammalian cell.
CRISPR method has been awarded the

What is CRISPR/Cas9?
“ Molecular scissors ”
Components of the CRISPR/Cas9 System
Cas9
-
gRNA
An enzyme
The primary function is cleaving.
A nuclease which targets DNA.
gRNA
- gRNA = crRNA + tracrRNA
Cas9
- ‘guides’ Cas9 to the right part of the genome.
The CRISPR/Cas9 editing tool works.
gRNA finds the spots and guide the Cas9 to a target.

Cas9 cuts the target DNA.

The cut is repaired.

Comparison of CRISPR/Cas9 with other Genome Engineering
Technologies
Zinc Finger Nuclease (ZFN)

Transcription Activator-like
effector-based nuclease (TALEN)

How CRISPR is different from
other gene editing tools?
Meganuclease

Advantage
Need attention?
of the method
-unintended
Accurate, efficient,
mutations
fast
and cheapest.
- Ethical concern
Can change the specificity.
Can target
multiples genes.
Applications of CRISPR/Cas9
CRISPR Use in Agricultural Sector
Use of CRISPR in Cancer
CRISPR/Cas9 for
Gene-editing
CRISPR as Antibiotic Resistance Solution
CRISPR/Cas9 has the
potential and
can be used in various fields,
from Medicines to agriculture
in the controlled environment.
CRISPR for AIDS
CRISPR Gene Drive
What’s the future of CRISPR-Cas9?
There are several problems associated with CRISPR/Cas9, like ethical issues and off-target mutations.
Once these issues are solved, CRISPR/Cas9 will genuinely become a revolutionary medication.
