  • Publication number: 20220246235
    Abstract: The present disclosure is drawn to creating cassette designs for nucleic acid-guided nuclease editing. In designing editing cassettes, a set of edit specifications must first be obtained. These edit specifications are taken together with a set of configuration parameters to start a computational pipeline that generates a collection of cassette designs. The process of designing editing cassettes involves the following exemplary steps: 1) creation of a set of candidate cassette designs for each unique edit specification, 2) enumeration of features describing biophysical characteristics of each candidate design, 3) providing each candidate design with a score, and 4) returning a number of scored and rank-ordered candidate cassette designs for each edit specification.
