CRISPR: Editing the Genome Special Article Collection

In this special article collection on CRISPR/Cas9, innovator Jennifer A. Doudna and Nobel Laureate Shinya Yamanaka are featured among other award-winning scientists and pioneering leaders in their fields. 

The discovery of the CRISPR and CRISPR-Cas adaptive immune systems has revolutionized scientists’ understanding of the human genome. These structures allow for precise manipulation of the genome, serving as tools for research into gene therapy, genetic screening, regulation, and correction. Human genome manipulation, both in vitro and in vivo, remains a topic for ethical debate and the safety and toxicity of all clinical trials and processes continue to be strictly monitored.

Read reviews written by world-renowned experts on CRISPR—from discovery to current and future applications. Perspectives on genetic engineering platforms; animal models; and the potential advantages, drawbacks, and ethical considerations of using this technology to cure human disease will inform your views of modern genetic research and gene therapies.
