CRISPR is a newly adopted technology that allows the bacteria in the cell to fight against the Viruses that affects the Human cells. It also allows making some specific changes in the DNA of the Human Being and some other organisms. Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat is the acronym for CRISPR. It is an RNA gene-guided editing platform, which is helping to break a double-stranded DNA at a specific location within the genome by making use of a Protein Coat (Cas9) and a synthetic RNA guide. In the simple life forms like bacteria and another organism, a simple sequence of CRISPR acts as a crucial component of the Immune System for protecting the organisms health. Viruses are the small infectious agents that invade the bacteria in the cells and attack the bacteria. If viral infection threatens this invaded bacteria, then the CRISPR immune system can attack and destroy the genome of the invading virus. The genome of the virus contains the genetic material for its replication. By destroying the genome, the CRISPR immune system protects the bacteria from viral infections.
