Publication number: 20230167426Abstract: The present invention is related to the field of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing platforms. In particular, the present invention has identified Type II-C Cas9 anti-CRISPR (Acr) inhibitors that control Cas9 gene editing activity. Co-administration of such Acr inhibitors may provide an advantageous adjunct in permitting safe and practical biological therapeutics through spatial or temporal control of Cas9 activity; controlling Cas9-based gene drives in wild populations to reduce the ecological consequences of such forced inheritance schemes; and contributing to general research into various biotechnological, agricultural, and medical applications of gene editing technologies.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2022Publication date: June 1, 2023Inventors: Erik Sontheimer, Alan Davidson, Karen Maxwell, April Pawluk, Yan Zhang, Jooyoung Lee, Nadia Amrani
