Abstract:

Gene editing technology is a novel molecular tool for modifying specific genes, which can effectively introduce new mutations into gene sequences, providing effective means for analyzing gene function and the phenotype-related DNA sequences. Since its discovery, gene editing technology has been successfully applied in various animals, plants, and other organisms, providing important technical support for gene therapy and precision crop breeding. This article aims to review the development of gene editing tools in recent years, elucidate the progress of classic editing tools, base editing tools, and other new editing tools, in order to provide reference for researchers in related fields to further understand and optimize editing systems.

Key words: gene editing, ZFN editing, TALENs editing, CRISPR-Cas, base editing
