  • Patent number: 11891609
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for increasing observed editing rates in the surviving bacteria cells. The compositions and methods presented herein in combination lead to a phenomenon of “edit or die.” Although less cells survive plating and editing, a large percentage of cells that do survive are multiple editors. In one experiment it was found that if a cell survives transformation, plating, and editing, 75% of the surviving cells are multiple editors; that is, 75% of the surviving cells were simultaneously edited with edits at two or more different locations within the bacterial genome.

  • Publication number: 20240018580
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions of matter, methods and instruments for nucleic acid-guided nickase/reverse transcriptase fusion editing in live cells. Editing efficiency is improved using fusion proteins (e.g., the nickase-RT fusion) that retain certain characteristics of nucleic acid-directed nucleases (e.g., the binding specificity and ability to cleave one or more DNA strands in a targeted manner) combined with reverse transcriptase activity. Editing cassettes are employed, comprising a gRNA and a repair template where the 3? end of the repair template is protected from degradation.

  • Patent number: 11845932
    Abstract: Nucleic acid-guided nuclease editing in mammalian cells may include passaging mammalian cells, in an automated closed cell editing instrument, into smaller aggregates when the aggregates exceed 50-300 microns in size. A library of viral particles may be delivered to the mammalian cells at a multiplicity of infection such that each mammalian cell receives one or no viral particle. The library may include viral vectors with an editing cassette including a pair of gRNA coding sequence and donor DNA. Conditions may be provided to allow a viral vector of the viral vectors to integrate into the mammalian cells. Enriching for mammalian cells may be done with an integrated viral vector. A nucleic acid-guided nuclease or nuclease fusion or a coding sequence for a nucleic acid-guided nuclease or nuclease fusion may be delivered to the enriched mammalian cells and conditions may be provided to allow editing in the mammalian cells.
