After being identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei in China, medical officials and scientists got to work to isolate and identify the novel virus that they observed to be causing a new respiratory illness. By re-tooling it, they were able to develop CRISPR/Cas9, a precision gene editing technology that can be used in any living organism.
