CRISPR is a natural occurring process whose purpose is to act as a defense mechanism fighting off viruses in prokaryotic organisms. Scientist, however, have figured out a way to emulate this same process. First by creating a piece of RNA who matches part of a desired gene which they intend destroy, then the RNA is bonded to a Cas9 and sent through the nucleus, next the RNA is binded to the DNA to where it signals Cas9 to the strands, and finally the cell miserably fails to correct the cut, but

Consequently, public attitudes toward nanotechnology should be taken into account at an early stage of technology development (Renn & Roco, 2006; Roco, 2003) This technology promises
Electronic Health Record systems (EHR) are essential to amending health quality and managing health care distribution, whether in an extremely immense health system, hospital, or primary care clinic.

Vision are concerned with developing algorithms for analyzing the contents of an It is also concerned with image data compression and improves the quality of an image by filtering and removing or degradation of noise present in the image viz. image enhancement and image restoration. On the other hand, image analysis deals with tasks like extraction of lines, curves and regions in the image. It also includes classifications and segmentation of objects in the image using boundary information, texture analysis
