Some genome editing systems are highly conspicuous. They introduce double-strand breaks to DNA that attract the attention of cellular mechanisms such as nonhomologous end joining and homology-directed repair. If a genome editing system is so brash as to attempt a sizable insertion of new DNA, homology-directed repair must ensure that…

Therapeutic applications of genome editing were envisioned at least as early as the mid-1990s, when the first sequence-specific genome editing technologies emerged. Initially, such applications were considered distant prospects, but by 2012, they suddenly seemed near to hand. It was at that time that CRISPR technologies emerged. CRISPR, which stands…
