By Sadie Kim The Development of CRISPR/Cas9 Gene Editing In 2012, Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier published a landmark paper detailing a method for genome editing based on clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) systems in bacteria. Characterized by distinct, repeating sequences of DNA, CRISPR/CRISPR-associated (Cas) systems are adaptive…
