Table 1. Characteristics of CRISPR.

Specificity	CRISPR can induce genetic modifications at very specific points of the genome, whereas other transgenesis techniques have null or low precision. Specificity confers a high level of effectiveness on the genetic modification achieved and a very low incidence of undesired secondary effects.
Efficiency	This gene editing technique is easily produced and has a high final percentage of genetically modified sequences in a specific location.
Accessibility	CRISPR is considered relatively simple to apply. It just requires a minimum knowledge of genetic manipulation techniques and a modest investment in infrastructure. In addition, the molecular tools required are accessible in public repositories more cheaply than requirements for other gene editing techniques.
Versatility	A wide range of variants of the molecular bases used in this technology have rapidly emerged due to the deep knowledge of this kind of base. This great variety makes it possible to exercise greater control over technique and to obtain an even greater range of molecular modifications that adapt to the needs of the researcher.
