  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20230250420
    Abstract: Compositions of matter, methods, modules, and automated instruments may relate to synthesizing a library including an editing cassette including a different gRNA and donor DNA pair, amplifying the editing cassette in a partition separate from other editing cassettes in the library, adding nuclease to the partition, and adding lipofectamine to the editing cassette and nuclease to form a lipofectamine/nucleic acid/nuclease complex. A microcarrier coated in extracellular matrix or a cell adhesion molecule coating may be added to the lipofectamine/nucleic acid/nuclease complex. Cell growth material, the microcarrier, and mammalian cells may be transferred to a growth module in an automated closed cell editing instrument via a liquid handling system. The mammalian cells may be allowed to seed on the microcarrier. Conditions may be provided for the mammalian cells to take-up and be edited by a payload associated with the lipofectamine/nucleic acid/nuclease complex.

  • Patent number: 11591592
    Abstract: This invention relates to compositions of matter, methods, modules and automated, end-to-end closed instruments for automated mammalian cell growth, reagent bundle creation and mammalian cell transfection followed by nucleic acid-guided nuclease editing in live mammalian cells. The disclosed compositions and method entail making “reagent bundles” comprising many (hundreds of thousands to millions) clonal copies of an editing cassette and delivering or co-localizing the reagent bundles with live mammalian cells such that the editing cassettes edit the cells and the edited cells continue to grow.

  • Publication number: 20220389447
    Abstract: The present invention is related to compositions and methods for gene therapy. Several approaches described herein utilize the Neisseria meningitidis Cas9 system that provides a hyperaccurate CRISPR gene editing platform. Furthermore, the invention incorporates full length and truncated single guide RNA sequences that permit a complete sgRNA-Nme1Cas9 vector to be inserted into an adeno-associated viral plasmid that is compatible for in vivo administration. Furthermore, Type II-C Cas9 orthologs have been identified that target protospacer adjacent motif sequences limited to between one-four required nucleotides.

  • Publication number: 20220290113
    Abstract: The present invention is related to the field of gene editing. In particular, the gene editing is directed toward single nucleotide base editing. For example, such single nucleotide base editing results in a conversion of a OG base pair to a T*A base pair. The high accuracy and precision of the presently disclosed single nucleotide base gene editor is accomplished by an NmeCas9 nuclease that is fused to a nucleotide deaminase protein. The compact nature of the NmeCas9 coupled with a larger number of compatible protospacer adjacent motifs provide the Cas9 fusion constructs contemplated herein to have a gene editing window that can edit sites that are not targetable by other conventional SpyCas9 base editor platforms.
