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.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions, methods, modules and automated integrated instrumentation to make auxiliary or ancillary edits—in addition to intended edits and immunizing edits—in cellular genomic nucleic acids in order to assess and improve nucleic acid-guided nuclease or nickase fusion editing.
