Gene Drive

StarStarStarStar

A genetic engineering technique that promotes the inheritance of a particular gene or trait to increase its prevalence in a population.

StarStarStarStar

Cas9

StarStarStarStar

An enzyme that cuts DNA at a specific location dictated by an RNA guide sequence.

StarStarStarStar

dCas9 (dead Cas9)

StarStarStarStar

A modified form of Cas9 that still binds to DNA but no longer cuts, used in gene regulation applications.

StarStarStarStar

Knock-in

StarStarStarStar

A process where CRISPR-Cas9 and HDR are used to insert a specific DNA sequence into a particular genomic location.

StarStarStarStar

HDR (Homology-Directed Repair)

StarStarStarStar

A precise DNA repair mechanism used in conjunction with CRISPR-Cas9 when introducing specific mutations or inserting new genetic material.

StarStarStarStar

Off-target effects

StarStarStarStar

Unintended genetic modifications in non-target locations in the genome caused by CRISPR-Cas9 action.

StarStarStarStar

Knockout

StarStarStarStar

A genetic engineering process where CRISPR-Cas9 is used to disrupt the function of a gene, often by creating small insertions or deletions.

StarStarStarStar

Cas12a (Cpf1)

StarStarStarStar

An alternative CRISPR protein to Cas9 that has distinct PAM requirements and produces staggered DNA cuts.

StarStarStarStar

Base Editors

StarStarStarStar

A class of CRISPR-based tools enabling the direct, irreversible conversion of one DNA base pair to another without introducing DNA breaks.

StarStarStarStar

NHEJ (Non-Homologous End Joining)

StarStarStarStar

A DNA repair mechanism that often leads to insertions or deletions when used with CRISPR-Cas9, potentially knocking out a gene.

StarStarStarStar

sgRNA (single-guide RNA)

StarStarStarStar

A synthetic RNA molecule designed to guide Cas9 to a specific location in the genome where a cut is intended.

StarStarStarStar

PAM (Protospacer Adjacent Motif)

StarStarStarStar

A short sequence of DNA recognized by Cas9 enzyme to initiate binding and create a double-strand break.

StarStarStarStar

Prime Editing

StarStarStarStar

A versatile and precise genome editing technique that uses a Cas9 nickase and a specially engineered reverse transcriptase.

StarStarStarStar

CRISPR-Cas9

StarStarStarStar

A molecular tool used to make precise changes in the DNA of organisms, from bacteria to human cells.

StarStarStarStar

On-target efficiency

StarStarStarStar

The effectiveness with which CRISPR-Cas9 induces editing at the intended target site in the genome.
