THE POTENTIAL OF CRISPR-CAS9 GENE EDITING TECHNOLOGY IN MODERN BIOMEDICINE AND AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY

Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing mechanism, focusing on its revolutionary contributions to molecular biology, medicine, and agricultural biotechnology in the year 2026. The paper highlights the dual role of CRISPR systems in target-specific therapeutics for genetic disorders and cancer immunotherapy, alongside its profound ecological impacts on creating climate-resilient transgenic crops. Furthermore, existential bioethical considerations and off-target mutation prevention strategies are thoroughly discussed, emphasizing a balanced regulatory framework for sustainable genetic modification.
