Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) hold great promise for modeling and recapitulation of human biological processes. Coupled with the advent of genome engineering tools, specifically the CRISPR–Cas9 systems, hPSCs have opened a multitude of possibilities in modeling human biology and creating novel cellular therapies. Here, we review the fundamentals of both technologies, and the wide-ranging present and future applications of genome engineering in hPSCs.
