CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) is a family of DNA sequences found within the genomes of prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria and archaea. Derived from fragments of bacteriophages that previously infected the organism, these sequences play a vital role in the prokaryotic antiviral defense system. When adapted into biotechnology, the CRISPR-Cas9 system functions as a powerful gene-editing tool capable of modifying DNA sequences within living organisms.

  1. Matthew KrummelNeutralAug 3, 2026· Huberman Lab Essentials

    CRISPR technology originated from research on bacterial defense mechanisms.

    “that same, you know, that same enzyme, that which we now use for all this human engineering. Engineering came out of a basic, like, how do bacteria defend themselves?”

  2. Alex MarsonPositiveMar 9, 2026· Huberman Lab Essentials

    CRISPR editing has become increasingly precise at targeted genomic sites

    “we've gotten quite good at getting more and more precise to say, okay, we're making these high fidelity cuts at one place”
