Gene editing therapies, which may have the effect of treating hereditary diseases as well as oncological disorders through precise modification of the genome sequence. Gene editing is the precise modification of a specific locus of an organism’s genome by deleting, inserting, or replacing a segment or a specific base of the genome to achieve a change in an organism’s characteristics or traits, and is now widely used in biological research. Gene editing therapy provides new and precise treatment methods for the treatment of diseases. For example, gene editing has great potential for the treatment of genetic diseases, screening and detection of disease-related genes, tumor treatment, transformation of plants and animals, and prevention of pathogenic microorganisms, with the possibility of solving diseases at their root causes.
