The CRISPR-Cas9 system is exploited experimentally for ____.
A) programmable RNA-guided genome editing
B) programmable DNA-guided genome editing
C) cutting DNA at specific sites so it can be inserted into a cloning vector
D) increasing transcription of a gene of interest
E) enhancing DNA polymerase activity in PCR reactions

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The CRISPR-Cas9 system is primarily used for programmable RNA-guided genome editing, where RNA guides the Cas9 enzyme to specific DNA sequences to introduce cuts, allowing for targeted modifications.
