But recently the cost, time, and difficulty of gene modification has been cut down to a 1% of what it was with the development of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats or CRISPR and the discovery of the protein CAS9. CAS9 is a protein that acts as a precise DNA surgeon capable of cutting out very specific segments of DNA from an animal’s chromosomes and can also be used to add in new segments of DNA. The groundbreaking discovery was that CAS9 could be programmed for any specific code of
