Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers, has announced the publication of the inaugural issue of The CRISPR Journal, a groundbreaking new peer-reviewed journal. The issue features an array of cutting-edge international original research papers as well as a compelling mixture of front matter content from luminaries in the field of CRISPR technology, including Rodolphe Barrangou, who also serves as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal, Fyodor Urnov, Qin Liu, Francisco Mojica, Eduard Akhunov, Luke Wiley, and Jacob Sherkow, among others. The complete first issue of The CRISPR Journal is available to read on the Journal website.
While CRISPR has become almost synonymous with genome editing technology, it is important to remember that there were several other robust genome editing technologies, including zinc fingers and TALENs, developed before the application of CRISPR to gene editing in 2012-13. In a beautifully written, informative, colourful, and compelling review article titled "Genome Editing B.C. (Before CRISPR): Lasting Lessons from the 'Old Testament'," Fyodor Urnov, Altius Institute for Biomedical Sciences (Seattle, WA), presents the essential timeline of advances in basic research of DNA repair, using a Noah's Ark of model organisms, that have already enabled one version of genome editing to enter the clinic in the United States.
The CRISPR Journal is an international, multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal publishing outstanding research on the myriad applications and underlying technology of CRISPR. Led by Editor-in-Chief Rodolphe Barrangou, the Journal provides a high-profile forum for cutting-edge international original research papers, review articles, perspectives, profiles, and commentary spanning not only matters of research but the many social, ethical, and business issues confronting the field. The CRISPR Journal is published bimonthly online and in print with flexible open access options.
