Something "edited" by CRISPR Answer Explained
The answer is GENE.
The quotation marks around "edited" are doing a lot of work here. CRISPR isn't editing a document or a photo; it's a gene-editing technology used to make precise changes to DNA. So if you're thinking about what CRISPR actually works on, the answer is GENE. Even if you're not familiar with the science, you've probably heard the phrase "gene editing" in news stories about medicine, genetics, or biotechnology. It's a clue that relies more on recognizing a well-known scientific term than on technical knowledge, and once you connect CRISPR with gene editing, the answer becomes a natural fit.
Now that you've cracked the 3D Something "edited" by CRISPR clue, you're one step closer to completing today’s Mini Puzzle! If you're still stuck on other clues, don't worry—we've got you covered.

Today’s NYT Mini Highlights
Today's Sunday Mini by Joel Fagliano was one of those puzzles that seemed to solve itself. I flew through almost the entire grid on reflex, with answers dropping in as soon as I read the clues. In fact, I reached the end before it even registered that I was about to finish.
The only tiny pauses came at GENE and COLIN. I wasn't immediately thinking of Colin Jost, but the crossings settled it almost instantly. Likewise, GENE wasn't my first thought for something edited by CRISPR, though once a couple of letters were in place it became obvious.
A very smooth, beginner-friendly Sunday Mini that was over before I realized it.
