What exactly is CRISPR? It's been featured in the news frequently in recent times, but the ins-and-outs of the technology be somewhat obscured in the plethora of information. There are some misunderstandings and we'll get to the main point!
CRISPR 'EDITS', IT DOES NOT 'MODIFY
There is a difference. CRISPR modifies DNA and removes specific sections, unlike GM.1 GM introduces foreign DNA into an organism, altering its DNA.2 The DNA that is foreign can also be from bacteria, plants, or insects.

CRISPR IS MUCH ACCURATE THAN GM and it's just getting started.
CRISPR could win if they were to play the game of darts. It's much more precise than GM in a number of ways. Contrary to GM, CRISPR only works with pre-existing genes. The technology "rewrites" what is already there within your DNA by separating the specific genes. The technology works with four bases that comprise the genes A T, C and A, and then selects the relevant genes.
IT'S STARTING TO GET THE SAME REGULATIONS AS GM
Up until very recently there was minimal regulation for CRISPR as compared to GM. This is due to CRISPR's young age, that dates back to 2013.6 But, EU courts ruled that CRISPR was subject to the same regulations as the GM7. However, this isn't applicable to other countries for instance, China or the US and, therefore, the global regulation of research remains uncertain.
CRISPR IS CRISPR CHEAP AS CHIPS
It's possible that a new technology in food production will increase the cost. But CRISPR is cheaper and more cost-effective than current bioengineering methods. It doesn't require a large, expensive lab or a large amount of equipment. All it needs is the appropriate RNA fragment, the appropriate chemicals as well as enzymes.8
CRISPR IS NOT THE FINAL HEALER of FOOD RIGHT NOW.
Despite being a hot favourite in the race to resolve global food problems, and possibly increasing yields and overcoming environmental stresses to satisfy our global appetite,9 CRISPR still has a long way take. It is not one of sprints. CRISPR is only at the start of this race.
While it's a much more precise and simpler method than its predecessor (GM) but that doesn't mean it's completely foolproof. CRISPR can also affect negative parts of the genome similar to GM. CRISPR is able to act in unwelcome areas of the genome just like the GM. However, it's not always accurate. Studies have shown that it is sometimes able to cause incorrect deletions. CRISPR might be closer than we thought. |
