摘要: Genome engineering is a powerful tool for wide range of applications in biomedical research and medicine. The development the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas9 system has revolutionized field gene editing, thus facilitating efficient genome editing through creation targeted double-strand breaks almost any organism cell type. In addition, CRISPR-Cas9 technology been used successfully many other purposes, including regulation endogenous expression, epigenome live-cell labelling chromosomal loci, edition single-stranded RNA high-throughput screening. implementation increased number available technological alternatives studying function, enabling generation CRISPR-based disease models. Although mechanistic questions remain to be answered several challenges have yet addressed, use CRISPR-Cas9-based technologies will increase our knowledge processes their treatment near future.
