In the medical world, a multitude of revolutionary technologies have been developed to improve the process of diagnosing and treating a patient. In the modern era, one of the most innovative developments is the use of CRISPR-Cas9, an enzyme that uses palindromic sequences of nucleotides to bind to and delete or edit DNA. Although heavily studied as a genetic engineering tool, this fascinating protein can also identify genetic targets to improve cancer therapy through CRISPR screening.
