In a certain dairy industry, producers found that the bacteria of the milk manufactured for yogurt would be invaded by occasional viruses. These viruses would enter the bacteria by putting themselves into the genome of the bacteria. Yet, the producers found that later, the bacteria was able to develop methods of shielding themselves against the viruses by allowing other benign viruses into their genome. This would allow for the bacteria to later come up with ways to prevent the harmful viruses from impacting their genome. Researchers later found that this information formed the basis of the development of a gene splicing technique. They decided to add spacer DNA that matched that of the virus. In 2012, Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier of Germany’s Hanover Medical School, presented their findings and came up with an
