Trаditiоnаl genetic engineering methоds like trаnsfоrmation lack the ability to target where genes are inserted into an organism's genome. In contrast, the CRISPR-Cas9 system can precisely locate the gene in the genome to be edited. What component of the CRISPR-Cas9 system ensures it will only edit the target gene?
