Applications of CRISPER- Cas in Biotechnology Include All of the Following

Question

Applications of CRISPER- Cas in biotechnology include all of the following EXCEPT _______.
A)creating bioreactors to manufacture human proteins
B)engineering pigs that are resistance to PRRS
C)increasing drought resistance of crops
D)modulating epigenetic regulation

Accepted Answer

CRISPR-Cas can be used for modulating epigenetic regulation through direct targeting of gene regulation machinery. However, it is not currently used to directly increase drought resistance in crops. A and B are valid applications of CRISPR-Cas, as it can be used to create bioreactors for protein production and engineer animals with desirable traits.
