Genome editors

Genome editors are advanced technologies that allow scientists to precisely modify an organism's DNA—the instruction book for living things. They can add, remove, or alter specific genes, enabling targeted changes such as correcting genetic defects, improving traits, or researching gene functions. Tools like CRISPR are examples of genome editors, making gene editing faster, more accurate, and accessible. These innovations hold significant potential for medicine, agriculture, and biological research, but also raise ethical considerations regarding their use. Overall, genome editors are powerful tools that help us understand and shape living organisms at their most fundamental level.
