The way gene therapy works is that scientist package healthy DNA into a device called a vector. This device is then released into a tissue that is affected by the illness. The vector travels to the infected area and releases it's DNA package. Once the DNA is placed, it tells the body to produce the proteins that will treat the infected area.]]> 2016-09-08 20:10:46 UTC https://padlet.com/greenenglish/3Agenetherapy/wish/122591602 https://padlet.com/greenenglish/3Agenetherapy/wish/122591769 CRISPR is an acronym in which stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat.

The two molecules are an enzyme called Cas9 as well as an organism's RNA. The RNA that is found in CRISPR is used to bind the sequence within the DNA. The enzyme Cas9 that is found in CRISPR plays a similar if not identical role in the DNA of the organism.
