Advanced Gene Editing: CRISPR-Cas9

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.

Dec 07, 2018 · fields, including agriculture, energy, ecosystem conservation, and the investigation, prevention, and treatment of diseases. Over the next 5 to 10 years, the National Academy of Sciences projects a rapid increase in the scale, scope, complexity, and development rate of biotechnology products, many enabled by CRISPR-Cas9.
