CRISPR/Cas9, a gene-editing technique that can target and modify DNA with groundbreaking accuracy, is both the newest darling and the newest villain of genetics research.Invented in 2012 by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, CRISPR/Cas9 has received a lot of attention this year.f scientists are able to nail down the use of CRISPR/Cas9 in human germ cells, thereâs no question that it could confer major benefits. Namely, the technology could eradicate hereditary diseases such as cystic fibrosis, sickle-cell anemia, and Huntingtonâs disease from a family line altogether.
Overview. The latest tool in genome editing â CRISPR/Cas9 â allows for specific genome disruption and replacement in a flexible and simple system resulting in high specificity and low cell toxicity.he CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing system requires the co-expression of a Cas9 protein with a guide RNA vector expressed from the human U6 polymerase III promoter.
