Brewing and baking bread are examples of processes that fall within the concept of biotechnology (use of yeast ( living organism) to produce the desired product). Such traditional processes usually utilise the living organisms in their natural form (or further developed by breeding), while the more modern form of biotechnology will generally involve a more advanced modification of the biological system or organism.</div>

Today, biotechnology covers many different disciplines (eg. genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology, etc.). New technologies and products are developed every year within the areas of eg. medicine (development of new medicines and therapies), agriculture (development of genetically modified plants, bio fuels, biological treatment) or industrial biotechnology (production of chemicals, paper, textiles and food).</div>

<b>Genetic engineering</b><i> is when the genetic makeup of an <b>organism</b> is altered by inserting, deleting or changing specific pieces of <b>DNA</b>.</i></div>

<i>Over the years, genetic engineering has become more common in <b>agriculture.</b> Globally, there are over <b>25</b> countries that grow genetically engineered crops on approximately <b>420</b> million acres of land, and those numbers are increasing every year. The United States is responsible for producing almost half of the genetically engineered crops planted worldwide and currently devotes over <b>40%</b> of U.S. cropland to these modified crops.</i></div>

<i>Although many crops have been genetically engineered over the years, there are three crops - <b>corn, soybean and cotton</b> - that are the focus of genetic engineering.

<i>There is a wide variety of types of genetic engineering used in agriculture. One of the most common types of genetic engineering is to insert the genes for <b>bacteria</b> into the<b> crop.</b> This type of genetic engineering works like an <b>insecticide</b>, which is a <b>pesticide</b> that targets unwanted insects, because when the insects consume the crop, they will be infected by the bacteria and will get sick and eventually die.</i></div>

<i>Another common type of genetic engineering is when <b>genes</b> for <b>herbicide resistance</b> are inserted into crops. When <b>herbicides</b>, which are pesticides that target unwanted plants, are sprayed on the field, the weeds will be killed, while the crops survive due to the insertion of the resistant genes. </i></div>

<i>The use of <b>genetic engineering</b> and the creation of genetically modified crops has resulted in many benefits for the agricultural world. The most noticeable benefit is that genetic engineering has made it possible to produce more crops in a shorter time period. Due to the modifications that make crops resistant to diseases, it has been possible to increase overall yields. Many genetically modified crops are also designed to grow at a faster rate, which also helps increase overall yield.</i></div>

<i><span style="color: #333333; font-family: q_serif, Georgia, Times, Times New Roman, Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro, Meiryo, serif;">CRISPR is actually a naturally-occurring, ancient defense mechanism found in a wide range of bacteria. As far as back the 1980s, scientists observed a strange pattern in some bacterial genomes. One DNA sequence would be repeated over and over again, with unique sequences in between the repeats.

These sequences are short repeats mostly 20-50 bp in size and are separated by a 'spacer sequence' which is an artifact of previous phage invasion, i.e. the spacer sequence is a part of phage DNA sequence thus end up protecting bacteria from any subsequent phage invasion.</span></i></div>

<i>Such a dyad sequence-structure of the CRISPR loci, leads to formation of hairpin loop like secondary structure although the entire sequence might not be completely palindromic. These repeats are separated by uniform length spacers. In most of the cases the spacer sequences are much identical to the phage DNA sequences. In certain cases the spacer sequence can be identical to prokaryotic DNA sequences making them self targetting.</i></div>

<i>So coming to Cas9, Cas9 is widely used nuclease and famous among scientists (albeit notorious amongst the phages ;-) ) and was isolated first from Spy bacteria or full name Streptococcus pyogenes.

<i>Cas9 is a nuclease which cuts/snips the DNA whereas the CRISPR is a set of sequences which guide the Cas9 as of where to exactly snip the DNA. So since DNA is quite a long stretch of nucleotides A, T, G, C the CRISPR has to guide the Cas9 to some specific 20bp sequence (Cas9 identifies a stretch of 20bp sequence). So all that we biologists do is we study the part of DNA sequence which we want to snip/effiencently engineer, and design a "CRISPR guide RNA" which has the 20bp sequence similar to the target sequence and a tracer RNA sequence for recruitment and snipping purpose os Cas9 protein. SO all one needs to do is design this CRISPR guide RNA sequence and order it cloned inside a suitable vector (usually a plasmid). Upon transfection in to the cells the CRISPR guide RNA and Cas9 shall do their work quite efficiently. Alternatively you can also design a corrected sequence of certain faulty gene (usually in oligo-nucleotide form) and co-transfect it into suitable organism/cell lines harbouring the faulty gene of internest. This shall lead to removal of faulty part from the gene and insertion of the correct part.</i></div>

<i>Similarly this system can be also used to effectively generate mutant varieties of particular gene for biological experiments. The traditional processes fail to do so with efficiency and require mostly a lot of breeding and may even cost several mice their lives and is time consuming too. The CRISPR system can be used efficiently to mutate any gene of interest and that too with good reproducibilty. Moreover this system can be used to manipulate any organism genome including that of humans.</i></div>

<i>The only con behind this technique is the off-targetting, that is the Cas9 might also snip a 20bp region which matches the Guide RNA sequence but is not somewhere else in the genome. Various people have been trying to optimise this artifact of off-targets by several computation approaches as well as using different Cas variants of Cpf variants. I wont go there since it is entirely different question to address.</i></div>

Decades of documented evidence demonstrates that agricultural biotechnology is
a safe and beneficial technology that contributes to both environmental and
economic sustainability. Farmers choose biotech crops because they increase
yield and lower production costs. Biotechnology has helped improve food
quality, quantity and processing. It also has applications in manufacturing,
where simple cells and proteins can be manipulated to produce chemicals. But
biotechnology is most important for its implications in health and medicine.</i></span></div>
