The CRISPR/Cas system has stood in the center of attention in the last few years as a revolutionary gene editing tool with a wide application to investigate gene functions. However, the labor-intensive workflow requires a sophisticated pre-experimental and post-experimental analysis, thus becoming one of the hindrances for the further popularization of practical applications. Recently, the increasing emergence and advancement of the methods play a formidable role to support and boost experimental work.

Moreover, it acts as an essential regulator in various human diseases such as gastric cancer (GC). Nevertheless, the comprehensive regulatory roles and clinical significance of most lncRNAs in GC are not fully understood.
