The CRISPR/Cas Tool Kit for Genome Editing Hardback

This book discusses CRISPR/Cas- one of the most powerful tools available to scientists for genome editing.

CRISPR/Cas is not only a genome editing tool, but researchers have also engineered it for gene regulation, genome imaging, base editing and epigenome regulations.

This book describes the entire toolkit for CRISPR/Cas.

The opening section gives an introduction to the technique and compares it with other genome editing tools.

Further section gives a historical perspective of the tool, along with its detailed classification.

The next chapters describe bioinformatic tools in CRISPR/Cas, and delivery methods for CRISPR/Cas.

The book also discusses about the applications of CRISPR/Cas beyond genome editing and use of CRISPR for rewriting genetic codes.

The book dedicates a section to the use of CRISPR in plants.

The book culminates with a chapter on the current status, challenges and shortcomings of the CRISPR/Cas genome editing tool.

The book would be highly interesting to students and researchers in molecular biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, food science, agriculture and plant sciences.
