The CRISPR is a technology to exit a variety of different genomes have revolutionised an array of sceientific fields, from genetic & translational research, to agriculture, bio production.

CRISPR -Vas9 technology can be used to edit genes within organisms. This editing process has a wide variety of applications, in the development of bio technology products.

The CRISPR technology can be used for the correction of many genetic dissorders which causes diseases in human being.

Example: Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that causes respiratory problems. This technology could help us to get the origin of the problem by editing the mutations that causes Cystic fibrosis, which is located in a gene called CFTR. Researchers has proven that it is possible to use CRISPR in human lung cells derived from patients with cystic fibrosis and fix the most common mutations behind the disease. CRISPR technology offers promise to cure many human genetic diseases like Cancer, Blood dissorders, Blindness, AIDS, Muscular dystrophy etc.
