<h1>What is CRISPR-cas9?</h1> <p><strong>CRISPR</strong>&nbsp;is a family of&nbsp;DNA&nbsp;sequences in bacteria. The sequences contain snippets of DNA from viruses that have attacked the bacterium. These snippets are used by the bacterium to detect and destroy DNA from similar viruses during subsequent attacks. These sequences play a key role in a bacterial defence system,&nbsp;and form the basis of a technology known as&nbsp;<strong>CRISPR/Cas9</strong>&nbsp;that effectively and specifically changes genes within organisms.</p>
