Gene therapy is a new therapeutic approach in which genes are used to treat or prevent diseases. It is a comprehensive term which encompasses a large variety of therapy products including viral and bacterial vectors, plasmid DNA, human gene editing technology, and patient-specific cellular gene therapy.

The CRISPR-Cas9 system, awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020 for its applications for gene editing, was initially encountered in the bacterial immune system. Bacterial RNA is replaced by a synthetic guide RNA (gRNA) that can recognise a specific target DNA sequence. CRISPR libraries: Why do we need them?
