Abstract The CRISPR/Cas system (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-CRISPR associated proteins) has been developed as a new technique widely used in gene editing in recent years. It is derived from the adaptive immune system of bacteria and archaea. At present, the CRISPR system has been extensively explored, among which Class II CRISPR/Cas9 is used as an effective gene editing tool in microorganisms, plants and animal cells. Compared to typical CRISPR/Cas9, CRISPR/Cas12a, which belongs to Class II technology, has also been investigated and developed and has been receiving increasing attention due to its unique advantages. This review aims to introduce the characteristics of CRISPR/Cas12a, its differences from CRISPR/Cas9 in the biological mechanisms, as well as its application in synthetic biology and medicine so as to provide reference for the further development and application of CRISPR/Cas12a gene editing technology.
