Abstract: Provided herein are delivery particle systems (XDP) useful for the delivery of payloads of any type. In some embodiments, a XDP particle system with tropism for target cells of interest is used to deliver CRISPR/Cas polypeptides (e.g., CasX proteins) and guide nucleic acids (gNA), for the modification of nucleic acids in target cells. Also provided are methods of making and using such XDP to modify the nucleic acids in such cells.

Abstract: Provided herein are CasX:gNA systems comprising CasX polypeptides, guide nucleic acids (gNA), and optionally donor template nucleic acids useful in the modification of a SOD1 gene. The systems are also useful for introduction into cells, for example eukaryotic cells having mutations in the SOD1 protein or the SOD1 regulatory element. Also provided are methods of using such CasX:gNA systems to modify cells having such mutations and utility in methods of treatment of a subject with a SOD1-related disease.

Abstract: Provided herein are Class 2 Type V CRISPR:gNA systems comprising Class 2 Type V CRISPR polypeptides (e.g. CasX), guide nucleic acids (gNA), and optionally donor template nucleic acids useful in the modification of a RHO gene. The systems are also useful for introduction into cells, for example eukaryotic cells having mutations in the rhodopsin protein. Also provided are methods of using such systems to modify cells having such mutations and utility in methods of treatment of a subject with a RHO-related disease, such as retinitis pigmentosa.
