Zahvaljujući njima, naučnici mogu sa velikom preciznošću da menjaju DNK životinja, biljaka i mikroorganizama.
In their natural form, the CRISPR/Cas9 genetic scissors recognise DNA from viruses, but Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna – awarded this year’s #NobelPrize in Chemistry – proved that they could be controlled so that they can cut any DNA molecule at a predetermined site. pic.twitter.com/zlOfyENt8V
