Abstract
Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) is a system that originated from the prokaryotic immune system but has been shown to have the capacity to be used in the editing of human genomes. In prokaryotes, CRISPR works by recognizing pathogens that the bacterium has previously encountered, therefore providing it with adaptive immunity.
