Abstract:

CRISPR system is the most widely used technology for gene editing in the current scientific researches. In the post genomic era,CRISPR system is of great significance for gene function research,disease development mechanism and gene targeted drug research. At present,CRISPR/Cas9 editing technology has been used to successfully construct cell and biological models for clinical medical research. However,CRISPR/Cas9,as a powerful gene editing technology,is not only used for gene deletion or gene knock-in,but also applied in the gene high-throughput screening,research on disease caused by gene silencing,cross epigenetic modification activating gene expression,reversible interference of target gene expression and molecular diagnosis of pathogenic microorganism infectious diseases via the research and application of CRISPR/Cas9 in translational medicine in recent years,such as the screening system of CRISPR gene-knockout library,CRISPR/dCas9 gene activation system,CRISPR interference technology and CRISPR molecular diagnosis technology,etc.,which promotes the application and development of CRISPR in translational medicine research.

Key words: CRISPR/Cas9, CRISPR molecular diagnosis, CRISPR gene-knockout library, CRISPR activation system, CRISPR interference
