What Are the Benefits of Using CRISPR-Cas9 in Toxicology?
The primary advantage of using CRISPR-Cas9 in toxicology is its precision and efficiency. Traditional methods of genetic modification are often time-consuming and less accurate. With CRISPR-Cas9, specific genes can be targeted and edited with unprecedented accuracy. This allows for the rapid creation of models to study the impact of toxins, potentially accelerating the development of antidotes and other therapeutic interventions.
