Abstract: Abstract: CRISPR is a high effective and robust system to target a specific genomic region with high accuracy. It has become the most popular genomic editing tool in biomedical and clinical research nowadays. CRISPR complex can induce double-strand breaks at a specific genomic region. Mediated by homology-dependent or independent repair pathways, precious genomic editing can occur at the broken sites, using various donor designs. Here we review the composition, principle, as well as various types of CRISPR systems discovered and applied in current biomedical studies. In addition, a summary of knock-in strategies mediated by homology-dependent or independent repair pathways will be presented. Recent improvements and applications of these technologies will also be discussed. Furthermore, we highlight the current challenges in CRISPR-induced genomic editing in biomedical and clinical research.
