Abstract

Genetics is the basis of all life, each organism is defined by a unique code derived from the combination of four letters, with advances in technology and research, techniques’ have been developed that allow editing said code, which constitute the foundations of genetic engineering. Given the importance of this discipline in scientific research, this review aims to make known the scope and impact of genetic editing in the different areas of the study of life and provide information that allows the reader to establish a position regarding its implementation as a tool in the face of various problems on a global scale caused by ecological imbalance such as pollution, climate change, scarcity of resources, loss of biodiversity, the development of new diseases, among others. To meet the objectives, an exhaustive search was carried out in different database platforms and pages of scientific dissemination, as a result the subject was divided into three parts, the first briefly recounts the development of genetic editing, the most used tools and its applications, in the second the controversies that have been generated about the risks and benefits achieved are discussed and analyzed, highlighting the most recent experiments and their contribution to scientific advancement, finally, the possible solutions to the different world problems are disclosed based on research conducted and future prospects.
