Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats

Clustered – They are grouped together in clusters on the bacterial DNA.

Regularly Interspaced – The repeating sequences are evenly spaced apart by “spacer” sequences (which are the viral DNA fragments the bacterium has collected).

Short – Each repeat is only about…Read more

  • Definition: ddPCR (Droplet Digital PCR) is a form of digital PCR that uses water‑oil emulsion droplets to separate a sample into tens of thousands of nanoliter partitions.
  • Mechanism:
    • Each droplet acts as an independent PCR reaction vessel.
    • Target DNA/RNA molecules are randomly distributed across droplets.

How it Works
What It’s Good For

CRISPR-Cas9
Uses a guide RNA to direct Cas9 to cut DNA at a specific spot. The cell repairs the cut, often introducing changes.
Great for knocking out genes, but less precise—can cause insertions/deletions.
