Advanced Gene Editing: CRISPR-Cas9 . Updated December 7, 2018. Congressional Research Service R44824. Advanced Gene Editing: CRISPR-Cas9 . Summary Scientists have long sought the ability to control and modify DNA the code of life. A gene editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 offers the potential for substantial improvement over other gene editing technologies in that it is simple to use and inexpensive and has a relatively high degree of precision and efficiency. These characteristics have led many in the scientific and business communities to assert that CRISPR-Cas9 will lead to groundbreaking advances in many fields, including agriculture, energy, ecosystem conservation, and the investigation, prevention, and treatment of diseases.
