ABSTRACT Gene editing took a new turn with the discovery of CRISPR and its variant CAS9, but along with it came legal battles and a need to find alternate solutions to gene editing. CRISPR not only gave a new image to gene editing but also raised the standards for new findings. Fortunately, tools like Cpf1 and NgAgo were discovered that not only stood up to the standard but proved themselves better. Though, they are in a development stage and proper testing is yet to be done, still they have given a hope to world of both preventative and curative sector.
