Abstract
The CRISPR-Cas9 (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats with CRISPR-associated protein 9) system is a genome editing system that is easy to design, highly specific, efficient, robust, and well suited for highthroughput and multiplexed gene editing for a variety of cell types and organisms. In this review we describe current applications of this new system, which is growing in popularity and is increasingly being employed to selectively control gene expression on a genome-wide scale.
