Mosaic mutations and off-target effects caused by CRISPR/Cas9 have led to concerns about the efficiency and specificity of this new technique in non-human primates and other large animals. Here we discuss recent findings from primate embryos, with a focus on the technical issues CRISPR/Cas9 faces before producing non-human primate models of human diseases.
CRISPR/Cas9引发的嵌合突变和脱靶效应引发了人们对这项新技术在非人类灵长类动物和其他大型动物中的效率和特异性的担忧。在此,我们讨论了灵长类胚胎的最新研究结果,重点关注CRISPR/Cas9在构建人类疾病的非人类灵长类动物模型之前所面临的技术问题。
