Discussion on CRISPR System and Its Application Status
With the continuous development of technology,an emerging gene editing technology,CRISPR/Cas9,has gradually entered the public eye.This system was first discovered in bacteria and later used by researchers as a third-generation gene editing technology.Compared with the previous two generations of technology,CRISPR/Cas9 has demonstrated greater efficiency and precision in gene knockout and gene insertion.This technology continues to be optimized and can be applied to the treatment of eukaryotic diseases,showing great development potential.Researchers have pointed out that the only thing that limits the use of this technology is imagination.In this article,we will elaborate on the background of the discovery of this technology,its optimization process,its main role,and its application in mice and nematodes,looking forward to providing some support and assistance to the staffconcerned.
