Gene editing is a type of genetic engineering in which DNA is inserted, deleted, modified or replaced in the genome of a living organism to change its characteristics.
Gene editing is different from traditional genetic engineering because it can be used to make very specific changes to the DNA.
Gene editing is a powerful tool that can be used to treat genetic diseases, improve crops and make other changes to the genome.
There are several different techniques that can be used for gene editing, including CRISPR-Cas9, ZFNs and TALENs.Gene editing is a controversial topic because it can be used to create genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
