Abstract:

In recent years,clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat(CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein(Cas) system has been widely applied in biology,medicine and other research fields,because of its simple and efficient gene editing ability. With the rapid development of CRISPR technology,the CRISPR/Cas system has been developed as a rapid,portable,low-cost and high-sensitive molecular detection tool,and it has made great breakthroughs and progress in pathogen detection,drug resistance analysis,single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP) typing and tumor gene mutation detection. In order to provide a reference and help for researchers engaged in related fields,this review described the latest research progress of different Cas and their further application in molecular detection.

Key words: Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat, Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat-associated protein, Collateral cleavage, Molecular detection, Diagnostics
