CRISPR-based editing is a revolutionary tool for genome engineering and discovery. The pace of innovation in this young field is truly astonishing, and yet significant gaps remain in the set of capabilities offered. In particular, scalable (massively parallel and multiplex) editing is only available for a small variety of edit types, placing fundamental limits on the kinds of studies researchers can perform. Additional advancements are needed to realize the full potential of the technology.
