<human>:  I have a question about the gene editing technology CRISPR. Where does the name CRISPR come from?
<bot>: CRISPR is an acronym for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats. It’s a type of DNA sequence found in bacteria that helps them defend against viruses. The name comes from the fact that the sequence is found in clusters, and the sequence is repeated regularly.
