Li, Y. et al. Harnessing type I and type III CRISPR-Cas systems for genome editing.
In this review, we provide an overview of the CRISPR-Cas systems for genome engineering, and in particular, stress key toolsets and methodologies that we believe will have particularly broad impact on both basic science and translational research.
CRISPR Cas9 systems for genome editing are derived from microbial adaptive immune systems and introduce DNA double-strand breaks at specific genomic locations, which in turn, activate host DNA repair pathways to introduce specific DNA modifications.
In addition, the coverage of the growing body of research on the repurposing of viral vectors as delivery systems for genome editing tools is complemented with information regarding their main characteristics, pros, and cons.
Imagine what could be achieved if accurate systems for genome interpretation were broadly available.
