Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) technology has enabled genetic engineering feats previously considered impracticable, offering great hopes for solutions to problems facing society. We consider it timely to highlight how CRISPR can benefit public health, medicine, and agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and offer recommendations for successful implementation.
成簇规律间隔短回文重复序列（CRISPR）技术使以前被认为不可行的基因工程壮举成为可能，为解决社会面临的问题带来了巨大的希望。我们认为，现在是时候强调 CRISPR 如何有益于撒哈拉以南非洲（SSA）的公共卫生、医学和农业，并为成功实施提供建议。
