Abstract
The research focus on CRISPR/Cas9 has gained substantial concentration since the discovery of ‘an unusual repeat sequence’ reported by Ishino et al. (J Bacteriol 169:5429–5433, 1987) and the journey comprises the recent Nobel Prize award (2020), conferred to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna. Cumulatively, the CRISPR has a short, compact, and most discussed success of its application in becoming one of the most versatile and paradigm shifting technologies of Biological Research. Today, the CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing system is almost ubiquitously utilized in many facets of biological research where its tremendous gene manipulation capability has been harnessed to create miracles. From 2012, the CRISPR/Cas 9 system has been showcased in almost 15,000 research articles in the PubMed database, till date. Backed by some strong molecular evidence, the CRISPR system has been utilized in a few clinical trials targeted towards various pathologies. While the area covered by CRISPR is cosmic, this review will focus mostly on the utilization of CRISPR/Cas9 technology in the field of cancer therapy.
