Crispr

CRISPR is the abbreviation of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, which represents the gene fragments of prokaryotic organisms containing repetitive base sequence in a short length. The widely applied CRISPR technology is the Crispr/Cas system for gene sequence editions by transferring Cas9 protein family encoded gene into cells and potentially simplifies the procedure of cutting DNA at a desired location . 

There are three CRISPR systems, one of which has been adapted for eukaryotes. This is the Type II CRISPR system, and it consists of three stages:

1) Acquisition

2) crRNA processing

3) Interference 

The CRISPR technology is now being adapted in order to be used to fight disease. For example, adaptations are being made to use CRISPR to fight antibiotic resistance. Alongside this, labs are trying to modify mosquitos to release into the wild in order to eradicate malaria, however there are some ethical concerns stipulating around this.
