Abstract

The dawn of molecular biology has disclosed allied and distinct facets at the genetic and molecular level and one of the most fascinating assets that has allowed the researchers to further explore the insights of the gene is gene editing technology which was made possible through unique sequences that are commonly affiliated to prokaryotic system as a consequence of viral invasion. These sequences that are unique to prokaryotes are referred to as CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) and have high level of research application which has in turn extended its prominence to eukaryotes from prokaryotes. CRISPR technology has set its significance in several associated domains of life sciences that has enhanced the efforts to explore genome at the sub molecular level. As a matter of fact, gene editing has been made possible through CRISPR technology which makes use of unique sequences to divulge the hidden genetic insights. The eminence of this system in modifying genes has revolutionized the field of genetic engineering which has provided solutions to several genetic consequences. This article aims to disclose the role of CRISPR in gene editing technology and its application on a broader scale that has been a fortunate breakthrough in the field of biology. The article primarily emphasizes on the significance of the CRISPR as a promising option towards cancer therapy
