  • Publication number: 20230365980
    Abstract: This application provides improved methods of editing the genome of a target cell. Cas9 molecules can be used to create a break in a genomic region of interest. To increase the likelihood that the break is repaired by homology-directed repair (HDR), the cell can be contacted with an HDR-enhancer. The cell may be, e.g., a human cell, a non-human animal cell, a bacterial cell, or a plant cell.

  • Publication number: 20230340456
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to methods of producing a modified nucleic acid comprising a precise deletion in a target nucleic acid in a cell comprising generating, within the cell, a first single strand break on a first strand of the target nucleic acid and a second single strand break on a second strand of the target nucleic acid, thereby forming a double strand break in the target nucleic acid having a first 3? overhang and a second 3? overhang; processing the first 3? overhang and the second 3? overhang with an exonuclease molecule, thereby deleting the segment of the target nucleic acid that was located between the first single strand break and the second single strand break, and forming a processed double strand break; and allowing the processed double strand break to be repaired by at least one DNA repair pathway, thereby producing the modified nucleic acid comprising the precise deletion in the target nucleic acid in the cell.

  • Publication number: 20220072160
    Abstract: This application provides improved methods of genome editing. Cas9 molecules can be used to create a break in a genomic region of interest. To increase the likelihood that the break is repaired by HDR (homology-directed repair), the cell can be contacted with molecules that bring a template nucleic acid in close proximity to the break, under conditions that allow the cell to repair the break using the template nucleic acid.
