As we all know, during the past decades' digitalisation has been penetrating all industries as well as to lives of consumers all over the world. The benefits from this trend have been many: for companies, it has been enabling increased not only productivity, but also many forms of new business initiatives like introducing cloud-based service offerings. For consumers, there have also been many improvements to everyday life, including online shopping, access to banks via the internet, etc.

The crispr cas 9 plasmid system is a gene editing technology based on the modification of adaptive immunity mechanisms in prokaryotes. It consists of two modules, one is the gRNA and its backbone that recognise specific DNA sequences, the other is Cas9, a protein that binds and edits DNA. Since its invention, the technology has developed rapidly. Nowadays, cas9 grna plasmid and its variants are widely used in various fields, such as editing, detecting, labelling, and imaging of nucleic acids in live cells. The technology has revolutionised the way basic life sciences and biomedicine are researched due to its efficiency and ease of use in different species. The inventor of the technology was also awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Today the crispr cas virus system is still thriving, with broad prospects and deep potential both in basic science research and in clinical applications such as gene therapy and cell therapy.
