CRISPR-Cas9 mediated enhancement of abiotic stress resilience in tomato: a comprehensive review of target genes.
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), a major vegetable crop grown worldwide, is consumed as both fresh and processed products. Concerns about the impact of abiotic stresses on tomato production are growing worldwide as climate change alters global weather patterns, adversely affecting crop yield and produce quality due to stresses like salt, heat, cold, and drought. Conventional breeding approaches such as hybridization, marker-assisted selection (MAS), and mutation breeding, have long been utilized to improve tomato resilience against abiotic stresses. These approaches are often hampered by extensive field trials, and require multiple generations limiting their efficiency in rapidly developing stress-tolerant cultivars. The efforts of traditional breeding systems are hindered by the narrow genetic base of tomatoes which poses a major bottleneck. Researchers have utilized CRISPR-Cas genome-editing technology to address this challenge to offer a precise and accelerated alternative for enhancing stress resilience in tomato. This versatile tool has gained attention for its simple, precise, and effective gene-editing capabilities. CRISPR-Cas based genome editing has successfully modified key genes related to stress-response pathways, enhancing abiotic stress resilience. Developing resistant cultivars help mitigate the impact of abiotic stress, thereby contributing to increased food production and food security. This review highlights recent progress in use of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing to enhance tomato resilience to abiotic stresses.

Insights into pegRNA design from editing of the cardiomyopathy-associated phospholamban R14del mutation.
Prime editing (PE) represents a transformative genome-editing technology and enables precise insertions, deletions, and base substitutions without introducing double-strand breaks, thereby reducing undesired indels and off-target effects. Despite advancements in enhanced prime editors and optimized prime editing guide RNAs (pegRNAs), designing effective pegRNAs remains a major challenge. The phospholamban (PLN) R14del mutation is associated with cardiomyopathies, making it a crucial target for precise gene-editing strategies. In this study, we explored pegRNA features that contribute to high editing efficiency using the FluoPEER.PLN R14del reporter cell line. Through systematic screening, we identified three pegRNAs with significantly enhanced editing efficiency. Our findings underscore the importance of pegRNA secondary structure and stability in optimizing prime editing, providing valuable insights into precise gene correction strategies.

Development and expansion of the CRISPR/Cas9 toolboxes for powerful genome engineering in yeast.
Yeasts represent a group of the microorganisms most frequently seen in biotechnology. Recently, the class 2 type II CRISPR system (CRISPR/Cas9) has become the principal toolbox for genome editing. By efficiently implementing genetic manipulations such as gene integration/knockout, base editor, and transcription regulation, the development of biotechnological applications in yeasts has been extensively promoted. The genome-level tools based on CRISPR/Cas9, used for screening and identifying functional genes/gene clusters, are also advancing. In general, CRISPR/Cas9-assisted editing tools have gradually become standardized and function as host-orthogonal genetic systems, which results in time-saving for strain engineering and biotechnological application processes. In this review, we summarize the key points of the basic elements in the CRISPR/Cas9 system, including Cas9 variants, guide RNA, donors, and effectors. With a focus on yeast, we have also introduced the development of various CRISPR/Cas9 systems and discussed their future possibilities.

Phage-assisted evolution of an adenine base editor with improved Cas domain compatibility and activity.
Applications of adenine base editors (ABEs) have been constrained by the limited compatibility of the deoxyadenosine deaminase component with Cas homologs other than SpCas9. We evolved the deaminase component of ABE7.10 using phage-assisted non-continuous and continuous evolution (PANCE and PACE), which resulted in ABE8e. ABE8e contains eight additional mutations that increase activity (kapp) 590-fold compared with that of ABE7.10. ABE8e offers substantially improved editing efficiencies when paired with a variety of Cas9 or Cas12 homologs. ABE8e is more processive than ABE7.10, which could benefit screening, disruption of regulatory regions and multiplex base editing applications. A modest increase in Cas9-dependent and -independent DNA off-target editing, and in transcriptome-wide RNA off-target editing can be ameliorated by the introduction of an additional mutation in the TadA-8e domain. Finally, we show that ABE8e can efficiently install natural mutations that upregulate fetal hemoglobin expression in the BCL11A enhancer or in the the HBG promoter in human cells, targets that were poorly edited with ABE7.10. ABE8e augments the effectiveness and applicability of adenine base editing.

Modeling Niemann-Pick disease type C in a human haploid cell line allows for patient variant characterization and clinical interpretation.
The accurate clinical interpretation of human sequence variation is foundational to personalized medicine. This remains a pressing challenge, however, as genome sequencing becomes routine and new functionally undefined variants rapidly accumulate. Here, we describe a platform for the rapid generation, characterization, and interpretation of genomic variants in haploid cells focusing on Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC) as an example. NPC is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a lysosomal accumulation of unesterified cholesterol and glycolipids. In 95% of cases, NPC is caused by mutations in the NPC1 gene, for which more than 200 unique disease-causing variants have been reported to date. Furthermore, the majority of patients with NPC are compound heterozygotes that often carry at least one private mutation, presenting a challenge for the characterization and classification of individual variants. Here, we have developed the first haploid cell model of NPC. This haploid cell model recapitulates the primary biochemical and molecular phenotypes typically found in patient-derived fibroblasts, illustrating its utility in modeling NPC. Additionally, we show the power of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated base editing in quickly and efficiently generating haploid cell models of individual patient variants in NPC. These models provide a platform for understanding the disease mechanisms underlying individual NPC1 variants while allowing for definitive clinical variant interpretation for NPC.

AddTag, a two-step approach with supporting software package that facilitates CRISPR/Cas-mediated precision genome editing.
CRISPR/Cas-induced genome editing is a powerful tool for genetic engineering, however, targeting constraints limit which loci are editable with this method. Since the length of a DNA sequence impacts the likelihood it overlaps a unique target site, precision editing of small genomic features with CRISPR/Cas remains an obstacle. We introduce a two-step genome editing strategy that virtually eliminates CRISPR/Cas targeting constraints and facilitates precision genome editing of elements as short as a single base-pair at virtually any locus in any organism that supports CRISPR/Cas-induced genome editing. Our two-step approach first replaces the locus of interest with an "AddTag" sequence, which is subsequently replaced with any engineered sequence, and thus circumvents the need for direct overlap with a unique CRISPR/Cas target site. In this study, we demonstrate the feasibility of our approach by editing transcription factor binding sites within Candida albicans that could not be targeted directly using the traditional gene-editing approach. We also demonstrate the utility of the AddTag approach for combinatorial genome editing and gene complementation analysis, and we present a software package that automates the design of AddTag editing.

Modern Trends in Plant Genome Editing: An Inclusive Review of the CRISPR/Cas9 Toolbox.
Increasing agricultural productivity via modern breeding strategies is of prime interest to attain global food security. An array of biotic and abiotic stressors affect productivity as well as the quality of crop plants, and it is a primary need to develop crops with improved adaptability, high productivity, and resilience against these biotic/abiotic stressors. Conventional approaches to genetic engineering involve tedious procedures. State-of-the-art OMICS approaches reinforced with next-generation sequencing and the latest developments in genome editing tools have paved the way for targeted mutagenesis, opening new horizons for precise genome engineering. Various genome editing tools such as transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs), and meganucleases (MNs) have enabled plant scientists to manipulate desired genes in crop plants. However, these approaches are expensive and laborious involving complex procedures for successful editing. Conversely, CRISPR/Cas9 is an entrancing, easy-to-design, cost-effective, and versatile tool for precise and efficient plant genome editing. In recent years, the CRISPR/Cas9 system has emerged as a powerful tool for targeted mutagenesis, including single base substitution, multiplex gene editing, gene knockouts, and regulation of gene transcription in plants. Thus, CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing has demonstrated great potential for crop improvement but regulation of genome-edited crops is still in its infancy. Here, we extensively reviewed the availability of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing tools for plant biotechnologists to target desired genes and its vast applications in crop breeding research.
