According to Han Hongbing et. al. in the Chinese Journal of Engineering :
“基因编辑是对生物基因组的特定位点进行精准操作，以实现DNA片段定点删除、插入或者单碱基突变的技术。该技术突破了传统农业育种性状改良的瓶颈，能够创制出多种动植物全新种质。尤其是其中的CRISPR/Cas9技术，以其操作简便、高效率、多靶标、通用性等优势成为当前主流的应用技术，将给农业种业带来革命。”
According to National Human Genome Research Institute:
“Genome editing is a method that lets scientists change the DNA of many organisms, including plants, bacteria, and animals. Editing DNA can lead to changes in physical traits, like eye color, and disease risk.”
