Summary Introduction

To explain:

Why CRISPR-Cas is such a powerful tool in molecular genetics.

Introduction:

Molecular genetics is the field of biology in which the structure of molecules and genes, and their functions has been studied; it applies both method biology and genetics. CRISPR-Cas is genome editing tool, which helps geneticist to edit or change the gene from the genome of an organism. CRISPR stands for clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, they found in the DNA sequence of bacteria and archaea. CRISPR-Cas9 is genome editing tool, used to make changes in the DNA sequence for the betterment of person. It is most interesting, growing, cheaper, effective genome editing technique. It consists of two main component guide RNA (gRNA), and Cas9 protein.
