Abstract
In recent years, gene editing technologies have improved significantly and became more widely used and more technologies have emerged and are used to characterize genes and regulatory elements underlying our cells' functions. Characterization of genes and regulatory elements using new gene editing technologies allows for the development of novel and improved drug therapies to current known and unknown diseases. In industry improved gene editing provides with highly efficient microbes producing biofuels, pharmaceuticals and more. Moreover, because genes dictate all the properties of living things, in the long term it may have important impacts in areas not yet recognised.
