genome editing
Altering genetic code
Genome editing is the deliberate modification of an organism's DNA using molecular tools.
Scientists can delete, insert, or replace specific genetic sequences, most commonly using CRISPR technology.
The technique has applications in medicine, agriculture, and research: Genome editing could potentially cure inherited diseases.
It raises ethical questions about altering human embryos or creating designer organisms.
