What is a gene surgery?

Gene surgery, also known as gene editing, is a technique that involves making precise alterations to the DNA of an organism to modify its genetic makeup. This can involve adding, removing, or changing specific DNA sequences using tools such as CRISPR-Cas9. The goal of gene surgery is often to correct genetic defects, enhance certain traits, or develop treatments for diseases. It holds significant potential in fields like medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology.
