Precision gene editing technologies based on CRISPR/Cas9: a review / 生物工程学报

Gene editing technology is a genetic operation technology that can modify the DNA sequence at the genomic level. The precision gene editing technology based on CRISPR/Cas9 system is a gene editing technology that is easy to operate and widely used. Unlike the traditional CRISPR/Cas9 system, the precision gene editing technology can perform site-directed mutation of genes without DNA template. This review summarizes the recent development of precision gene editing technology based on CRISPR/Cas9, and prospects the challenges and opportunities of this technology.
