CRISPR Technology has been accepted as a revolutionary breakthrough with the arrival of CRISPR-edited foods on a grocery store shelf. CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) developed a decade ago has tremendous potential in agriculture and food sectors.

   The new development overwhelms the earlier approaches like cross-pollination, mutation breeding, transgenic breeding, etc., which involve gene editing. CRISPR does it with unprecedented precision.

   Reports of how CRISPR is already advancing human health are already pouring in from different laboratories worldover: Researchers are using CRISPR to delve deeper into the genetic basis of various diseases and CRISPR-based therapies are showing impressive results in clinical trials.

   It is forecast that this technology will be extensively used to develop strategies to treat many diseases with a high rate of success and these systems....
