CRISPR - What Is It Good For?
By Jemimah Hunkin
What does CRISPR stand for?
Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats
What Is CRISPR?
What is the purpose of CRISPR?
CRISPR is a powerful tool used to alter genomes, this allows researchers to be able to remove mutations and defects within the DNA structure, and to replace them.
What Is the purpose of CRISPR
CRISPR's Potential.
Potential
CRISPR is being considered to make the impossible, possible. such as:
- Turning pigs into organ donors
because pigs resemble humans the most and have the potential to provide enough organs that the human body accepts
- making new and improved fruit
- modifying human embryos
- creating new treatments for cancer and blood disorders
Applications
Applications
CRISPR has made a simple and affordable way to manipulate and edit DNA within the human body. It completely changed the face of genome engineering. The applications of this technology are endless Researchers are working hard on new cures for diseases such as cancer, blindness, and Alzheimer’s disease while using CRISPR

Limitations
Limitations
How could a patient potentially contract cancer from CRISPR? CRISPR has the potential to cause unintended changes to genomes that could suddenly turn cells cancerous. permanently removing three genes means cutting around each one in three different locations in the genome, and the wrong ends can be joined up. causing cells to turn cancerous
Further Limitations
MORE
CRISPR techniques could help treat genetic diseases and transform ecosystems successfully however, potential limitations of CRISPR such as side-effects and the ethical debates raised by changing DNA have stalled the important progress.
One problem is the potential for CRISPR is to unexpectedly trigger an immune response, resulting in toxicity.
Conclusion
conclusion
CRISPR Is a new and developed technology that takes defects within DNA and replaces them, they use CRISPR in crops to combine dna for a sweeter produce. CRISPR has good potencial regarding curing diseases and mutations within Genomes. however, there a lot of limitations that cold be harmful for those who undergo a procedure of CRISPR, such as cancer which is a common issue today that is extreamly difficult to remove and can take years to cure. this new and unfamiliar technology may need to have a little more development for a successful outcome in the future.
