Intervening sequences of regularly spaced prokaryotic repeats derive from foreign genetic elements
The insight that CRISPR spacers come from viruses: the origin of the whole field.
CRISPR provides acquired resistance against viruses in prokaryotes
The experiment, performed at a yogurt company, that proved CRISPR is a bacterial immune system.
A programmable dual-RNA-guided DNA endonuclease in adaptive bacterial immunity
The paper that turned CRISPR from a curiosity of bacterial immunity into a programmable tool.
Multiplex genome engineering using CRISPR/Cas systems
One of the two January 2013 papers showing that CRISPR works inside human cells.
RNA-guided human genome engineering via Cas9
The companion January 2013 paper from George Church's laboratory, published the same day.
Programmable editing of a target base in genomic DNA without double-stranded DNA cleavage
The paper that introduced base editing: chemistry instead of cutting.
Search-and-replace genome editing without double-strand breaks or donor DNA
The paper introducing prime editing: writing new sequence directly into the genome.
CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing for sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia
The first published clinical results showing CRISPR editing produced benefit in patients.
CRISPR-Cas9 in vivo gene editing for transthyretin amyloidosis
The first report of CRISPR administered into a human bloodstream to edit a gene inside the body.
Patient-specific in vivo gene editing to treat a rare genetic disease
The first gene-editing medicine designed and manufactured for a single patient.
Prime editing for p47phox-deficient chronic granulomatous disease
