Recent advances in genome editing technologies have redefined our ability to probe and precisely edit the human genome and epigenome in vitro and in vivo More specifically, RNA-guided CRISPR/Cas systems have revolutionized the field due to their simplicity in design and adaptability across biological systems. This Collection highlights results in CRISPR/Cas technology that increase the efficiency of precision genome editing, and allow genetic manipulation in model systems traditionally intractable to site-directed gene modification.
基因组编辑技术的最新进展重新定义了我们在体外和体内探测及精确编辑人类基因组和表观基因组的能力。更具体地说,RNA引导的CRISPR/Cas系统因其设计简单且能在生物系统中广泛应用,给该领域带来了变革。本合集重点介绍了CRISPR/Cas技术的相关成果,这些成果提高了精确基因组编辑的效率,并能在传统上难以进行定点基因修饰的模型系统中实现基因操作。
