What technology was used to edit the genomes of gray wolves to resemble dire wolves?

  1. DNA Fingerprinting
  2. AI-Assisted Splicing
  3. CRISPR Gene Editing
  4. Retroviral Injection

CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) is a groundbreaking gene-editing technology that enables scientists to make precise changes to DNA. Inspired by a natural bacterial defense system, CRISPR uses a guide RNA and a Cas enzyme—usually Cas9—to locate and cut specific DNA sequences. This allows for the removal, replacement, or correction of genes.

Thanks to its simplicity and accuracy, CRISPR is now widely used in biological research and holds promise for treating genetic disorders, improving crops, and transforming medicine and biotechnology. Though still evolving, CRISPR is set to reshape the future of science and health.
