Abstract in brief

  • The discovery of CRISPR-Cas9, a groundbreaking genome editing technology, led to a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020 awarded to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna, recognizing their key roles in its development.
  • Originally a natural immune system in bacteria protecting against viruses, CRISPR-Cas9 has since been adapted for scientific research, medicine, and agriculture, with potential to treat genetic diseases and modify organisms, including humans.
  • Ethical debates have arisen due to its application in human germline editing, such as modifying embryo cells, raising concerns about safety, morality, and the possibility of long-term impacts, prompting calls for restrictions or bans on certain uses.]
