Gen editing refers to a set of techniques that inpute e provided modifications to o an organism 's DNA. Unlike older methods such as randem mutagenesis or transgenesis (where conserction DNA is inservetted), gene editing enables scients to kreate specific genetic changes, such athe thee insertion, deletion, or revement nementiotis det.

Other Gene- Editing Approaches
While CRISPR- Cas9 dominates the field, teel platforms such as Talens (transkrypcja aktywator- like effector nukleases) and zinc- finger nurases (ZFNs) were used in earlier work ande still l for specific applications.
