About this Research Topic
We are now entering the third decade of the 21st Century, and, especially in the last years, the achievements made by scientists have been exceptional, leading to major advancements in the fast-growing field of genome editing. Frontiers has organized a series of Research Topics to highlight the latest advancements in science in order to be at the forefront of science in different fields of research. This editorial initiative of particular relevance, led by Prof. Qunxin She, Specialty Chief Editor of the Genome Editing Tools and Mechanisms section is focused on new insights, novel developments, current challenges, latest discoveries, recent advances, and future perspectives in the field of genome editing tools and mechanisms.
The Research Topic solicits brief, forward-looking contributions that describe the state of the art, outlining, recent developments and major accomplishments that have been achieved and that need to occur to move the field forward. Authors are encouraged to identify the greatest challenges in the sub-disciplines, and how to address those challenges. Reviews, Mini-Reviews, Perspectives, Brief Research Reports, and Opinions summarizing the current state and future directions of the field are particularly welcome in this collection. This article collection will inspire, inform, and provide direction and guidance to researchers in the field.
The goal of this special edition Research Topic is to shed light on the progress made in the past decade in the genome editing field and on its future challenges to provide a thorough overview of the status of the art of genome editing tools and mechanisms. This article collection will inspire, inform, and provide direction and guidance to researchers in the field.
