Abstract

 The 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to two scientists for their discoveries of CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing and its molecular mechanisms. The CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology is regarded as one of the most important biological discoveries in the 21st century. Their discovery has led to widespread applications of the CRISPR-Cas9 system as a powerful and versatile tool in genome editing. Here, the development and application of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology and the contributions of scientists are introduced.

Key words：  ; gene editing, adaptive immune system, CRISPR/Cas9
