Labelled as the ‘Microsoft word’ of gene editing it is understood that this phenomenon originated back in the 1980’s as a strange pattern in some bacterial genomes as observed by scientists. As a result of observations conducted scientists recorded one DNA sequence repeating over and over again with unique sequences in between repeats, this odd […]
