Gene editing, or genome engineering, is a group of technologies that allow researchers to modify an organism’s genetic material through removal, addition, or alteration of DNA at a specific location of interest. The CRISPR/Cas9 system, also known as Clustered Regularly-Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats and CRISPR-associated protein 9, is a technology that has advanced the field of gene editing.

ACS Publications is proud to launch the Advances in CRISPR Research Virtual Issue, comprised of 5 research communities, and including 33 authors and articles from ACS Chemical Biology, ACS Infectious Diseases, ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters, ACS Synthetic Biology, and the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry. The articles in this groundbreaking virtual issue demonstrate the advancements and versatility of the CRISPR/Cas9 system.
