Gene editing refers to the process of specifically modifying organism's genome using specific technical approaches to regulate its genetic information and phenotypic characteristics. Among them, large−fragment gene integration technology enables the accurate insertion or replacement of large exogenous DNA fragments in the organismal genome, which provides core technical support for the development of innovative therapeutic strategies against severe diseases. Starting from the historical origin of this technology, this paper systematically sorts out its developmental trajectory and analyzes the current technical bottlenecks of large−fragment gene integration technology, including exogenous DNA dependence, delivery challenges and prominent immune risks. Given that the novel large−fragment integration techniques based on R2 retrotransposons are expected to become a key solution to break through these limitations, the study further introduces the structural characteristics and retrotransposition mechanisms of R2 retrotransposons, and reviews the research advances in its structural analysis and engineering modification, and summarizes the technical breakthroughs and application prospects of R2 retrotransposon−mediated large−fragment integration tools, which provides theoretical insights and practical references for the application of R2 retrotransposon tools in gene therapy.
