Advantages

Because CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing only requires two components, it is a much faster method than many other gene editing techniques. 

A variety of Cas nucleases and customizable crRNA makes this technique extremely flexible.

The simplicty of the two-part CRISPR/Cas9 system means it is incredibly cost effective in comparison to other protein engineering techniques. 

Can be used on a variety of different cells including those of plants, animals, humans, and a wide variety of other organisms. 

The main goal of CRISPR/Cas9 technology is to correct and prevent genetic defects that can cause life threatening diseases.

• • The CRISPR technology is designed to cut out the portion of the DNA responsible for genetic mutations in order to rectify the gene or prevent the onset of the disease from the start. 

With further advancements, it can be used to reverse even the most life threatening diseases and change the way disease prevention is managed

A primary focus of CRISPR/Cas9 technology is advancing research aimed at developing less invasive, more effective methods of treating diseases such as cancer.

CRISPR/Cas9 allows for cellular and animal models that can mirror human disease and common mutations of the genome.

• • Valuable for comprehending underlying disease mechanisms and for devising and testing potential interventions

CRISPR/Cas9 enables the deliberate introduction of specific mutations, allowing scientific observation of their alterations.
