Transposition of transposable element IS1 in Edwardsiella piscicida mutant generated by CRISPR/Cas9 along with λ-Red recombineering system.
This study aimed to investigate unintended mutations introduced by the CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing system in Edwardsiella piscicida. Whole-genome sequencing was conducted on the wild-type E. piscicida NH1 and its alanine racemase knockout mutants (E. piscicida Δalr325 NH1 and E. piscicida Δalr50 NH1) generated using CRISPR/Cas9 with a λ-Red recombineering system. Comparative genomic analyses revealed that the insertion sequence 1 (IS1) transpositions occurred in the CRISPR/Cas9-edited mutants, disrupting the type I restriction-modification system subunit M gene, in addition to the targeted gene deletion. Interestingly, no IS1 transpositions were detected in mutants produced via conventional plasmid-based allelic exchange, indicating the potential link between CRISPR/Cas9-mediated editing and transposition events. These results suggest that genome editing via CRISPR/Cas9 could trigger IS1 transposition, potentially due to double-stranded DNA breaks. The lack of sequence similarity between the single guide RNA (sgRNA) and the transposed regions suggests that transpositions are not CRISPR/Cas9 off-target effects. This study provides evidence of interactions between mobile genetic elements and genome editing systems, requiring further investigation into their underlying mechanisms.

CRISPR/Cas9 with single guide RNA expression driven by small tRNA promoters showed reduced editing efficiency compared to a U6 promoter.
Multiplex genome engineering in vivo with CRISPR/Cas9 shows great promise as a potential therapeutic approach. The ability to incorporate multiple single guide RNA (sgRNA) cassettes together with Cas9 gene expression in one AAV vector could greatly enhance the efficiency. In a recent Method article, Mefferd and coworkers indicated that small tRNA promoters could be used to drive sgRNA expression to facilitate the construction of a more effective AAV vector. In contrast, we found that when targeting endogenous genomic loci, CRISPR/Cas9 with tRNA promoter-driven sgRNA expression showed much reduced genome editing activity, compared with significant cleavage with U6 promoter-driven sgRNA expression. Though the underlying mechanisms are still under investigation, our study suggests that the CRISPR/Cas9 system with tRNA promoter-driven sgRNA expression needs to be reevaluated before it can be used for therapeutic genome editing.

Genome editing outside of controlled facilities: A review of plausible futures and risks.
Vectors for delivering proteins and/or nucleic acids into the cells of whole organisms, from single to multicellular, are rapidly advancing. Common cargos are nucleic acids needed to express the components of a genome editing reaction, or ribonucleoproteins (RNP) that can act immediately upon delivery. In only 20 years, improvements in associated formulation technologies have decreased the dependence of genome editing on the need for a laboratory or trained personnel, allowing for genome editing outside of controlled facilities. As this happens, both target and non-target organisms may be exposed to active biological agents, necessitating a new framework for risk assessment. Some scientists deny developments for gene editing in uncontrolled environments, leading to scientifically unjustified dismissals of risk.

CRISPR-Based Genome Editing: Advancements and Opportunities for Rice Improvement.
To increase the potentiality of crop production for future food security, new technologies for plant breeding are required, including genome editing technology-being one of the most promising. Genome editing with the CRISPR/Cas system has attracted researchers in the last decade as a safer and easier tool for genome editing in a variety of living organisms including rice. Genome editing has transformed agriculture by reducing biotic and abiotic stresses and increasing yield. Recently, genome editing technologies have been developed quickly in order to avoid the challenges that genetically modified crops face. Developing transgenic-free edited plants without introducing foreign DNA has received regulatory approval in a number of countries. Several ongoing efforts from various countries are rapidly expanding to adopt the innovations. This review covers the mechanisms of CRISPR/Cas9, comparisons of CRISPR/Cas9 with other gene-editing technologies-including newly emerged Cas variants-and focuses on CRISPR/Cas9-targeted genes for rice crop improvement. We have further highlighted CRISPR/Cas9 vector construction model design and different bioinformatics tools for target site selection.

Precision genome editing in plants using gene targeting and prime editing: existing and emerging strategies.
Precise modification of plant genomes, such as seamless insertion, deletion, or replacement of DNA sequences at a predefined site, is a challenging task. Gene targeting (GT) and prime editing are currently the best approaches for this purpose. However, these techniques are inefficient in plants, which limits their applications for crop breeding programs. Recently, substantial developments have been made to improve the efficiency of these techniques in plants. Several strategies, such as RNA donor templating, chemically modified donor DNA template, and tandem-repeat homology-directed repair, are aimed at improving GT. Additionally, improved prime editing gRNA design, use of engineered reverse transcriptase enzymes, and splitting prime editing components have improved the efficacy of prime editing in plants. These emerging strategies and existing technologies are reviewed along with various perspectives on their future improvement and the development of robust precision genome editing technologies for plants.

Generation of Cellular Biofactories for the Scalable Production of Surface-Engineered Extracellular Vesicles via CRISPR Genome Editing.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are versatile biological nanoparticles with applications in therapeutics, diagnostics, and biotechnology. Current production methods relying on transient transfection or chemical conjugation suffer from high variability, limited scalability, and heterogeneous EV populations. Here, we present a synthetic-biology-based biomaterial manufacturing platform that uses CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing to generate stable HEK293T cell lines for continuous production of surface-functionalized EVs. A fusion construct encoding mCherry-C1C2 was site-specifically integrated into the AAVS1 safe-harbor locus, enabling consistent and heritable expression of EV membrane proteins without repeated transfection. Engineered cells produced EVs with uniform size (120-130 nm), preserved canonical markers (CD63 and ALIX), and enhanced surface-display efficiency compared with transiently transfected controls. These vesicles exhibited robust cellular uptake and maintained structural and functional stability for over 25 passages (∼3 months), confirming durable genome-encoded production. Overall, this platform eliminates batch-to-batch variability inherent to transient systems and provides a genetically defined route to biofunctional nanomaterial fabrication. This approach links genetic design to nanoscale surface functionality, establishing a versatile foundation for reproducible biomanufacturing of engineered EVs for biomaterial, therapeutic, and diagnostic applications.

Beyond Permanent Genome Editing: Molecular Delivery Strategies for RNA Editing and Epigenome-Editing Therapeutics.
Reversible genetic medicines are emerging as controllable alternatives to permanent genome editing by enabling programmable modulation of RNA sequence, transcript abundance, chromatin state, and gene expression without irreversible genomic alteration. However, reversibility is not a single binary property: transient editor exposure, decay of the molecular effect, recovery of cellular function, and clinical capacity to stop, redose, or counteract treatment may diverge. This review therefore distinguishes mechanistic, functional, and clinical reversibility while examining targeted delivery systems for RNA-editing and epigenome-editing therapeutics. Key payloads include ADAR-recruiting oligonucleotides, CRISPR-Cas13 RNA editors, guide RNAs, chemically modified RNAs, editor-encoding mRNAs, dCas9 transcriptional regulators, DNA methylation editors, histone-modifying systems, and CRISPRoff-like platforms. We evaluate extracellular and intracellular delivery barriers, including nuclease degradation, immune recognition, renal clearance, liver uptake, cellular entry, endosomal escape, cytoplasmic release, nuclear localization, chromatin access, editing-window duration, off-target activity, immunogenicity, repeat-dosing feasibility, manufacturing, quality control, potency assays, and regulatory translation. Overall, delivery systems for reversible genetic medicines should be judged by tissue selectivity, functional editing, duration of action, reversibility after treatment withdrawal, safety, manufacturability, and clinical controllability.

Establishment of an efficient seed fluorescence reporter-assisted CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing in maize.
Genome editing by clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic sequences (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) has revolutionized functional gene analysis and genetic improvement. While reporter-assisted CRISPR/Cas systems can greatly facilitate the selection of genome-edited plants produced via stable transformation, this approach has not been well established in seed crops. Here, we established the seed fluorescence reporter (SFR)-assisted CRISPR/Cas9 systems in maize (Zea mays L.), using the red fluorescent DsRED protein expressed in the endosperm (En-SFR/Cas9), embryos (Em-SFR/Cas9), or both tissues (Em/En-SFR/Cas9). All three SFRs showed distinct fluorescent patterns in the seed endosperm and embryo that allowed the selection of seeds carrying the transgene of having segregated the transgene out. We describe several case studies of the implementation of En-SFR/Cas9, Em-SFR/Cas9, and Em/En- SFR/Cas9 to identify plants not harboring the genome-editing cassette but carrying the desired mutations at target genes in single genes or in small-scale mutant libraries, and report on the successful generation of single-target mutants and/or mutant libraries with En-SFR/Cas9, Em-SFR/Cas9, and Em/En-SFR/Cas9. SFR-assisted genome editing may have particular value for application scenarios with a low transformation frequency and may be extended to other important monocot seed crops.

Human Dignity and Gene Editing: Additional Support for Raposo's Arguments.
The aim of the present paper is to reinforce some of the affirmations made by Vera Lucia Raposo in a recent paper published by the Journal of Bioethical Inquiry. According to her, germline gene editing does not violate human dignity at all. This article offers some complementary ideas supporting her statement. In particular, four main arguments are stressed. Firstly, not only is the idea of human dignity unclear, but the idea of the human genome suffers from a general lack of concreteness, which has dramatic consequences for the debate. Secondly, it is highlighted that if we believe that the immutability of the human genome underpins human dignity, then it should be our duty to use the tools of genetic modification to reverse any accidental changes that occur in nature. Thirdly, it is showed that if the alteration of germline constitutes an attack on human dignity, then we should also refrain from performing medical practices such as chemotherapy, which cause precisely this effect. Finally, we argue that modification of germline is not contrary to human dignity but an excellent expression of our autonomy.

Improving environmental stress resilience in crops by genome editing: insights from extremophile plants.
In basic and applied sciences, genome editing has become an indispensable tool, especially the versatile and adaptable CRISPR/Cas9 system. Using CRISPR/Cas9 in plants has enabled modifications of many valuable traits, including environmental stress tolerance, an essential aspect when it comes to ensuring food security under climate change pressure. The CRISPR toolbox enables faster and more precise plant breeding by facilitating: multiplex gene editing, gene pyramiding, and de novo domestication. In this paper, we discuss the most recent advances in CRISPR/Cas9 and alternative CRISPR-based systems, along with the technical challenges that remain to be overcome. A revision of the latest proof-of-concept and functional characterization studies has indeed provided more insight into the quantitative traits affecting crop yield and stress tolerance. Additionally, we focus on the applications of CRISPR/Cas9 technology in regard to extremophile plants, due to their significance on: industrial, ecological and economic levels. These still unexplored genetic resources could provide the means to harden our crops against the threat of climate change, thus ensuring food security over the next century.
