Cancer is caused by a defective gene due to mutations. CRISPR-Cas9 tools can be used to edit out these parts of the gene. The tool can snip out and replace a section of DNA with a given DNA. The tool is a harnessed mechanism from bacteria that is a mechanism to identify foreign genetic material such as that of bacteriophages and destroy them.
