Professor Wang Liming has carefully selected many of the latest developments and typical cases, and carefully sorted out for readers the three major changes in the field of gene editing since the first edition was launched: the continuous evolution of gene editing technology, the continuous expansion of the application scenarios of gene editing technology, and the increasingly perfect and mature supervision of gene editing technology. It will help readers continue to track and explore this hot field with great development potential.
