Yes, geneticists can alter genetic codes through a process known as genetic engineering or genome editing. This involves making precise changes to the DNA of an organism. One of the most widely used techniques for altering genetic codes is “CRISPR-Cas9”, which allows scientists to target specific genes and either remove, add, or modify them. There are several applications of genetic code alteration: Gene Therapy: Correcting defective genes in humans to treat genetic disorders like cystic fibrosi
