Publication number: 20210222204Abstract: The disclosure provides compositions and methods for suppressing off-target editing guide RNA-nuclease complexes. The disclosed strategies incorporate use of catalytically inactive truncated guide RNA/nuclease complexes to shield off-target editing. In some embodiments, the disclosure provides a method of inhibiting off-target cleavage of DNA by a first guide RNA-endonuclease complex by contacting the DNA with a second guide RNA-endonuclease complex that comprises a second guide RNA corresponding to the off-target site but with a recognition sequence of 16 or fewer nucleotides. In another aspect, the disclosure provides a method for preventing cleavage of DNA after editing and subsequent homology-directed repair (HDR) by contacting the repaired DNA with a guide RNA-endonuclease complex that comprises a guide RNA with a guide RNA corresponding to the repaired sequence but with a recognition sequence of 16 or fewer nucleotides. Additional methods, compositions, and kits are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2021Publication date: July 22, 2021Applicant: University of WashingtonInventors: John C. Rose, Dustin James Maly, Douglas Fowler, Nicholas Popp
