Abstract
Gene modification technology has long been beneficial for unraveling the mystery of biological phenomena. Thus, the advent of the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/ CRISPR-associated (Cas) 9 system was a game-changer in biological research because of its efficiency and simplicity of design. This review article first describes a brief guideline of gRNA design and the methods to incorporate the CRISPR/Cas9 system into zygotes. Then, we will also discuss the application of this technology to the study of male reproductive biology, including knock-out (KO) phenotypical screening of genes expressed in the male reproductive tissues.
