Applications of CRISPR/Cas9 system. CRISPR/Cas9 system has revolutionized genome engineering: its accuracy, rapidity, and affordability permit its use in a nearly limitless range of applications. Since its discovery, researchers have been using the CRISPR/Cas9 system to cure diseases, discover new treatments, and for precision medicine. It does not stop there; beyond treating human diseases, CRISPR/Cas9 is also being utilized for studying the model and non-model insects’ biology, somatic genome editing, manufacturing biofuels, and engineering better crops (rice, wheat, etc.), etc. These advances made possible by the invention of the CRISPR/Cas9 system will change the lives of people globally
