This timely volume explores the use of CRISPR-Cas9 for genome
editing, presenting cutting-edge techniques and their
applications in treatment of disease. The chapters describe
latest methods such as use of targetable nucleases, investigation
of the non-coding genome, mouse genome editing, increasing of
knock-in efficiency in mouse zygotes, and generation of reporter
stem cells; the text contextualizes these methods in treatment of
cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, retinitis pigmentosa,
and others. The final chapters round out the book with a
discussion of controversies and future directions.

Genome Editing is an essential, of-the-moment contribution
to this rapidly growing field. Drawing from a wealth of
international perspectives, it presents novel techniques and
applications for the engineering of the human genome. This book
is essential reading for all clinicians and researchers in stem
cells, regenerative medicine, genomics, biochemical and
biomedical engineering- especially those interested in learning
more about genome editing and applying it in a targeted, specific
way.
