Viral vectors have traditionally been used in gene editing where the shells of viruses carry the template DNA into cells, but this method has its disadvantages. The CRISPR-Cas9 system works by having “spacer” sequences transcribed into short RNA sequences that can guide the system to the matching target in the DNA sequence of a cell.
