CRISPR/Cas9 is the most widely used method for genetic manipulation today. Originally, bacteria used the CRISPR system as an adaptive and inheritable immune system for the defence against viral DNA and plasmids. They snip out parts of the viral DNA and store them to recognise the pathogen if they have to face it again. In 2012, Dr Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier successfully adapted CRISPR so that it could be used in animal and human cells. This breakthrough created a buzz in the scientific world and revolutionised gene editing. To this day, CRISPR is the simplest and most precise genome engineering technique available.
