Part 1 Introduction to Drug Discovery and Genome Editing Methods
This part provides a historical prospective on developments in the genome editing field. Since CRISPR Cas is currently the method of choice, which in true sense has revolutionized genome editing, a separate chapter on the development of this technology is provided.

1.1 Introduction
The last decade has seen the development of an unprecedented number of new technologies that are being applied to transform our understanding of disease and the subsequent success of drug discovery. The dramatic advances in DNA sequencing technology and the more recent advances in other‐omics technologies including transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics are enabling the understanding of disease at the genetic and cellular level to identify new drug targets, and to identify new disease biomarkers to enable disease segmentation and patient stratification in the clinic. Advances in stem cell technology together with technologies that enable the creation of tissue organoids in the laboratory are allowing the creation of complex models of disease (Lancaster et al. 2013), which together with advances in imaging technology are enabling the drug discovery scientist to better understand the efficacy and safety of potential medicines in preclinical studies. The huge increases in computational power, together with advances in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are allowing drug discovery scientists to extract greater knowledge from these large‐omics datasets, to improve the speed and quality of chemistry design and enable the design of improved clinical studies (Vamathevan et al. 2019). Perhaps, the most impactful of the many new technologies applied in drug discovery in the last decade has been the rapid adoption of CRISPR/Cas9 throughout the drug discovery pipeline to create engineered cellular and animal models of disease to enable the study of the role of new drug targets in disease, alongside the development of CRISPR as a medicine in it’s own right or as a key tool in the creation
