CRISPR Cas9 genome editing allows researchers to modify genes in a multitude of ways including to obtain deletions, epitope-tagged loci, and knock-in mutations. Within 6 years of its initial application, CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing has been widely employed, but disadvantages to this method, such as low modification efficiencies and off-target effects, need careful consideration. Obtaining custom donor vectors can also be expensive and time-consuming. This chapter details strategies to overcome barriers to CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing as well as recent developments in employing this technique.
CRISPR Cas9 基因组编辑允许研究人员以多种方式修改基因,包括获得缺失、表位标记基因座和基因敲入突变。在最初应用的 6 年内,CRISPR-Cas9 基因组编辑已经得到了广泛的应用,但该方法存在一些缺点,例如修饰效率低和脱靶效应,需要仔细考虑。获得定制的供体载体也可能昂贵且耗时。本章详细介绍了克服 CRISPR-Cas9 基因组编辑障碍的策略,以及利用该技术的最新进展。
