A Review of CRISPR-Cas9 in Climate Change Mitigation
Keywords:
CRISPR, CRISPR-Cas9, CRISPR and Climate ChangeAbstract
As gene editing has continued to take predominance in scientific inquiry and exploration, new methods of utilizing such tools have been pushed out in large quantities with each passing day. CRISPR-Cas9, a recently discovered gene editing system, has potential to not only aid in medicine, but to correct man-made faults that have detrimentally impacted the planet. As global warming continues to burden the ecology of the world, and in turn, the humanity present within, methods of mitigating these burdens are becoming more important than ever. The focus of this review revolves around editing the genomes of various plants and bacteria in order to produce climate saving resources. Ideally, these resources will be widely available on a corporate scale as a means of swiftly correcting the exponentially destructive trends that go hand in hand with the current climate crisis.
