What if we could fix genetic diseases at the source? Introducing... CRISPR

[00:00:00]Okay. Did you know that we can edit DNA like editing a Google doc? Yeah, scientists actually can using something called crisper. Crisper is basically molecular scissors. It can find a very specific sequence in your DNA and cut it exactly at that spot. Once the DNA is cut, scientists can do many things with that. They can remove a gene, fix a mutation, or even insert a completely new piece of DNA. And here's the crazy part. Crisper wasn't invented from scratch. It actually comes from bacteria. Many bacterias will use crisper as a defense system. When a virus attacks them, they store pieces of that virus's DNA and use it later to recognize and cut the virus if it comes back. So now we've taken a natural system and turned it into a tool that could potentially cure genetic diseases by fixing the problem directly in your DNA.
