CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing complex, molecular structure. The CRISPR-Cas9 protein is used in genome engineering to cut DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). It uses a guide RNA (ribonucleic acid) sequence to cut DNA at a complementary site. The Cas9 protein is shown in blue-white. The guide RNA is red, and the double-strand of the DNA is white-grey
