What is CRISPR-Cas9 and its application in cancer research?
CRISPR-Cas9 is a revolutionary genome-editing technology that allows for precise modifications of DNA. In cancer research, CRISPR-Cas9 is used to create knockout models, study gene function, and identify potential therapeutic targets. By disrupting or modifying specific genes, researchers can investigate their roles in cancer initiation, progression, and resistance to treatment.
