The Nobel Prize, one of the highest awards in the world, is awarded each year to achievers in six fields: medicine, physics, chemistry, economics, peace, and literature. Of these, only the Nobel Peace Prize will be announced in Norway and the Nobel Prize in other fields will be announced in the Swedish capital, Stockholm.
In this regard, the Nobel Prizes for this year by the department are being announced from Monday, October 5th. Accordingly, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was announced today, with the first day being announced to the Department of Medicine and the second day to the Department of Physics.
The prize is awarded to two female scientists, Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna, for their discovery of genetic modification.
When they both studied the bacterial immune system, they discovered a molecular device. It helps to make precise incisions in the gene.
Using CRISPR / Cas9 gene scissors as one of the sharpest tools of genetic technology, it is possible to accurately transform the DNA of animals, plants, and microorganisms.
It has revolutionized molecular science and created new opportunities for plant reproduction. It is predicted to be of great use in the treatment of cancer and in the treatment of hereditary diseases.
