Cover Story: The advent of CRISPR/Cas technologies has enabled us to manipulate the genetic code with various possibilities. However, controlling the dose, time, and location of action remains a significant challenge in the application of said technologies. Small molecules offer a simple and cost-effective way to regulate biological processes. This review explores the various mechanisms by which the CRISPR/Cas9 machinery can be influenced with the help of small molecules. While the indirect influence on the machinery by small molecules is discussed, the primary focus is on direct interactions between small molecules and (engineered) Cas9 or sgRNA. These findings highlight the promise of small-molecule-mediated control of CRISPR/Cas9 activity for developing more precise, efficient, and controllable genome-editing strategies. View this paper
