What Are Some Applications of RNA-Based Gene Editing?
RNA-based gene editing has a wide range of applications in both research and therapeutic contexts. In research, it allows for the creation of genetically modified organisms to study gene function and disease mechanisms. Therapeutically, it holds promise for correcting genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and muscular dystrophy. The catalytic nature of Cas9 enables these precise alterations, making it a powerful tool for gene therapy.
