CRISPR and Code the Synergy of Gene Editing and Computational Advances in Systems Biology

Abstract

Jorge Ferreira*

In the realm of modern biology, two groundbreaking fields, gene editing through CRISPR technology and computational systems biology, are converging to revolutionize our understanding of genetics and biological systems. This article explores the powerful synergy between CRISPR and code, highlighting how the integration of gene-editing techniques with computational approaches is reshaping the landscape of systems biology. CRISPR, or Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, was initially discovered as a part of the bacterial immune system. However, scientists have ingeniously adapted and repurposed this system into a revolutionary gene-editing tool. Concurrently, the field of systems biology has emerged as a holistic approach to studying the complex interactions within biological systems. The fusion of CRISPR and computational systems biology is transforming the way we explore and manipulate the fundamental building blocks of life.
