CRISPR has a wide range of applications. In medicine, it holds promise for treating genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and even certain cancers by correcting mutations at their source. In agriculture, CRISPR can be used to create crops that are more resistant to pests, diseases, and harsh environmental conditions. The technology also has potential in developing organisms that can help combat climate change by absorbing more carbon dioxide.
