Gene editing is a form of genetic engineering that involves the precise alteration of DNA within a cell. This process allows for the insertion, deletion, replacement, or modification of specific genetic sequences. One of the key enzymes used in this technique is responsible for cutting the DNA at targeted locations, facilitating the desired genetic changes.

The applications of gene editing are diverse and impactful. It has the potential to revolutionize disease treatment by correcting faulty genes responsible for certain conditions. Additionally, gene editing plays a crucial role in advancing scientific research and understanding genetic functions better. In the realm of agriculture, this technology holds promise for enhancing crop yields and improving plant characteristics by modifying their genetic makeup.

Among the various techniques employed for gene editing, CRISPR-Cas9 stands out as the most widely used, cost-effective, and efficient system. However, other significant methods like zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs) and TALENs (Transcription activator-like effector nucleases) are also employed for this purpose.
