Overall, these studies empower a broader range of disease modeling applications via CRISPR-Cas9-mediated genome engineering, allowing researchers to uncover fundamental mechanisms in disease initiation, maintenance and procession, and explore the therapeutic potential of the CRISPR-Cas9 system to correct disease-causing mutations. Owing to its ability to completely disrupt target genes and the simplicity of designing potent sgRNAs, the CRISPR-Cas9 system has been extended to large-scale loss-of-function (LOF) genome screens in human cells [Koike-Yusa et al., 2014; Shalem et al., 2014; Wang et al., 2014; Zhou et al., 2014] .
