The gene editing landscape is moving faster than ever. In the last month alone, breakthroughs in CRISPR and epigenetics are reshaping how we treat rare diseases, design therapies, and even think about DNA itself.
Here are 10 of the most important developments globally: Top 10 CRISPR Trends
CRISPR for Newborns: A baby with a deadly CPS1 mutation was successfully treated with a personalized gene therapy just weeks after birth.
In Vivo Gene Editing for Rare Diseases: New flexible models are being tested to deliver one-patient, one-solution therapies.
Ensoma’s EN‑374: A new therapy using CRISPR for chronic granulomatous disease enters clinical trials.
TIGR‑Tas System: A newly discovered editing tool offering more precision than CRISPR, with a smaller footprint.
Prime Editing: DNA “search-and-replace” that doesn’t require breaking the DNA strand.
CRISPRoff/on: Switch genes off or on epigenetically—no DNA cuts required.
CRISPR + AI Diagnostics: Machine learning is improving CRISPR-Cas12a-based detection systems.
GREGoR Project: A global rare disease database connecting clinical and genomic data across thousands of patients.
Casgevy Approval: The first CRISPR therapy for sickle cell disease and beta-thalassemia is now FDA and EMA approved.
Fighting Drug-Resistant Infections: CRISPR used to disable antibiotic resistance in tuberculosis.
📌 These aren’t isolated headlines—they’re signals of a rapidly changing future.
🧠 CRISPR is no longer just a tool—it’s an ecosystem of innovation, from gene correction to diagnostics, from AI integration to therapies for ultra-rare diseases.
