When genetic mutations cause chromosomes to break apart and fuse together in different ways, normal cells can become cancerous. In this image, normal chromosomes (blue) are shown with chromosomes (green and red) that have been altered using CRISPR-Cas9 genome engineering and fused back together.<br><br> <a href="https://www.salk.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Dixon-lab-image.jpg">Click here</a> for a high-resolution image.<br><br> Credit: Salk Institute
