CRISPR-Cas9 is a genetic technique that can be used to edit the genetic sequence of organism. This latest technique can be used to treat the cancerous cells. The genetic constituent of cancerous cells can be modified by this technique and used to treat the cancer diseases. The new drugs target can be discovered by using CRISPR-Cas9 technique.
