CRISPR genome editing: A general view

How to cite this article: Kumar RMR. CRISPR genome editing: A general view. J Genet Med Gene Ther. 2017; 1: 001-002. CRISPR technology has presented a path forward for genomic engineering and gene modi ication. The framework for the use of CRISPR technology to manipulate the human genome is of great interest and the form of its development and application has excited the researchers and biotech communities as the number of publications citing CRISPR gene targeting system has rose predominantly as indexed in PubMed. From a technical standpoint of view, most of us think that this would be relatively straightforward process, but technical feasibility is never the only consideration in doing experiments. Much of the discussion about CRISPR engineering has revolved mostly around its ability for treating disease or editing the genes of human embryos. In the real sense, what the biologists desire about CRISPR is its speci icity: the ability to target and determine particular DNA sequences in the genome circuit.
