Editing CRISPR and Genome Editing (section)

== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> ==
* '''CRISPR-Cas9''' — A specialized protein (Cas9) and an RNA guide used to find and cut specific DNA sequences.
* '''Genome Editing''' — The deliberate modification of the genetic material of a living organism.
* '''gRNA (Guide RNA)''' — The "GPS" molecule that leads the Cas9 protein to the exact spot on the DNA that needs to be cut.
* '''PAM Sequence''' — A short DNA sequence that Cas9 uses as a "Starting Point" to distinguish between target and non-target DNA.
* '''NHEJ (Non-Homologous End Joining)''' — The cell's "Quick and Dirty" way of fixing a DNA cut, which often leads to a gene being "Deleted."
* '''HDR (Homology-Directed Repair)''' — A more precise repair method used to "Insert" new DNA at the cut site.
* '''Base Editing''' — A "CRISPR 2.0" technique that can change a single letter (e.g., C to T) without cutting the DNA.
* '''Gene Drive''' — A technology that ensures a specific genetic trait is passed to 100% of offspring, allowing a trait to spread through an entire wild population.
* '''Germline Editing''' — Editing the DNA of embryos, sperm, or eggs so the change is passed to all future generations.
