Technologies harnessing CRISPR systems have been rapidly evolving and expanding the capacity of researchers for understanding of mammalian cell behavior and its underlying mechanisms through genome and epigenome manipulations. In this review, we summarized the recent developments of CRISPR-based technologies for genetic and epigenetic modifications that include engineering of Cas9 for PAM simplification, non-cleaving base editing tools and alteration of gene expression. Applications such as genome-wide screening methods or CRISPR-based DNA barcoding for cellular lineage tracking are highlighted. Anticipated and upcoming development for mammalian synthetic biology that includes organelle engineering is also discussed.
