Automated design of CRISPR prime editors for 56,000 human pathogenic variants.
Prime editors (PEs) are clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-based genome engineering tools that can introduce precise base-pair edits. We developed an automated pipeline to correct (therapeutic editing) or introduce (disease modeling) human pathogenic variants from ClinVar that optimizes the design of several RNA constructs required for prime editing and avoids predicted off-targets in the human genome. However, using optimal PE design criteria, we find that only a small fraction of these pathogenic variants can be targeted. Through the use of alternative Cas9 enzymes and extended templates, we increase the number of targetable pathogenic variants from 32,000 to 56,000 variants and make these pre-designed PE constructs accessible through a web-based portal (http://primeedit.nygenome.org). Given the tremendous potential for therapeutic gene editing, we also assessed the possibility of developing universal PE constructs, finding that common genetic variants impact only a small minority of designed PEs.

Efficient allelic replacement in rice by gene editing: A case study of the NRT1.1B gene.
Precise replacement of an existing allele in commercial cultivars with an elite allele is a major goal in crop breeding. A single nucleotide polymorphism in the NRT1.1B gene between japonica and indica rice is responsible for the improved nitrogen use efficiency in indica rice. Herein, we precisely replaced the japonica NRT1.1B allele with the indica allele, in just one generation, using CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology. No additional selective pressure was needed to enrich the precise replacement events. This work demonstrates the feasibility of replacing any genes with elite alleles within one generation, greatly expanding our ability to improve agriculturally important traits.

Development and application of a CRISPR/Cas9 system for Bacillus licheniformis genome editing.
A highly efficient genome editing system for Bacillus licheniformis was developed based on single-plasmid CRISPR/Cas9. For highly efficient genome editing the shuttle vector pWH1520 was selected to construct the knockout plasmids. A construct harboring a pS promoter driving cas9 endonuclease expression, a strong pLY-2 promoter driving the transcription of a single guide RNA was demonstrated as being the most effective. To verify the feasibility of the method the uprT gene coding uracil phosphoribosyltransferase was selected as the reporter gene. The efficiency of introducing nucleotide point mutations and single gene deletion reached an editing efficiency of up to 99.2% and 97.3%, respectively. After a upp-deficient strain was engineered, the system and strain were applied to introduce genomic deletions of another two genes, amyL and chiA (encoding amylase and chitinase, respectively) with about 90% deletion efficiency. As two native extracellular proteins with relatively high secretion in the host, amylase and chitinase can hamper the secretion and expression of alkaline protease. It was demonstrated that the mutant with deletions of the two genes effectively improved the alkaline protease yield by 24.8%. The results illustrated that the establishment of a CRISPR/Cas9 system for Bacillus licheniformis is of significance, and confirmed the system's high efficiency. The system provides support for effective molecular modification and metabolic regulation of Bacillus licheniformis, and offers promise for applications in genetic modification of other industrially relevant Bacillus species.

Multiplex CRISPR-Cas9 editing of chlorophyll biosynthesis genes in chickpea via protoplast and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation.
Chickpea is an important legume consumed worldwide and a rich source of protein. Chickpea is less amenable to recent gene editing techniques despite its economic significance. Accelerating the improvement process and enabling novel trait development in chickpea will require new approaches for genetic intervention. The CRISPR system has been used in different plant species to generate genetic variation and manipulate gene functions, facilitating studies on gene function and crop improvement. To implement genome editing in chickpea, genes involved in the chlorophyll biosynthesis pathway were selected as targets for gene editing. A construct (pTrans_100-Chbio) carrying gRNAs for chlorophyllide a oxygenase (CAO) and chlorophyll synthase (CHLG), along with the Cas9 protein, was introduced into chickpea protoplasts via PEG-mediated transformation. Multiple edits containing deletions and base insertions were identified after protoplast transformation, as confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Afterward, Agrobacterium transformation of explants was performed, resulting in the successful regeneration of pale and chimeric yellow tissues, subsequently confirmed as containing largely substitutions, as detected through deep amplicon sequencing. Edited plants showed yellowish leaves and lower chlorophyll content. Our results indicated that chlorophyll biosynthesis pathway genes played an essential role in chlorophyll degradation and ROS scavenging to regulate both natural and induced chickpea senescence. We established an efficient and feasible CRISPR/Cas9-based editing system in chickpea that successfully generates allelic mutations and phenotypic variation. The established platform can be a foundation for future functional studies and precise genome editing of additional agronomic traits, ultimately contributing to chickpea crop improvement and sustainable agriculture.

Universal toxin-based selection for precise genome engineering in human cells.
Prokaryotic restriction enzymes, recombinases and Cas proteins are powerful DNA engineering and genome editing tools. However, in many primary cell types, the efficiency of genome editing remains low, impeding the development of gene- and cell-based therapeutic applications. A safe strategy for robust and efficient enrichment of precisely genetically engineered cells is urgently required. Here, we screen for mutations in the receptor for Diphtheria Toxin (DT) which protect human cells from DT. Selection for cells with an edited DT receptor variant enriches for simultaneously introduced, precisely targeted gene modifications at a second independent locus, such as nucleotide substitutions and DNA insertions. Our method enables the rapid generation of a homogenous cell population with bi-allelic integration of a DNA cassette at the selection locus, without clonal isolation. Toxin-based selection works in both cancer-transformed and non-transformed cells, including human induced pluripotent stem cells and human primary T-lymphocytes, as well as it is applicable also in vivo, in mice with humanized liver. This work represents a flexible, precise, and efficient selection strategy to engineer cells using CRISPR-Cas and base editing systems.

Efficient methods for multiple types of precise gene-editing in Chlamydomonas.
Precise gene-editing using CRISPR/Cas9 technology remains a long-standing challenge, especially for genes with low expression and no selectable phenotypes in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a classic model for photosynthesis and cilia research. Here, we developed a multi-type and precise genetic manipulation method in which a DNA break was generated by Cas9 nuclease and the repair was mediated using a homologous DNA template. The efficacy of this method was demonstrated for several types of gene editing, including inactivation of two low-expression genes (CrTET1 and CrKU80), the introduction of a FLAG-HA epitope tag into VIPP1, IFT46, CrTET1 and CrKU80 genes, and placing a YFP tag into VIPP1 and IFT46 for live-cell imaging. We also successfully performed a single amino acid substitution for the FLA3, FLA10 and FTSY genes, and documented the attainment of the anticipated phenotypes. Lastly, we demonstrated that precise fragment deletion from the 3'-UTR of MAA7 and VIPP1 resulted in a stable knock-down effect. Overall, our study has established efficient methods for multiple types of precise gene editing in Chlamydomonas, enabling substitution, insertion and deletion at the base resolution, thus improving the potential of this alga in both basic research and industrial applications.

Advances in CRISPR multiplex gene editing to map and modify stress-responsive transcription factor networks for crop improvement.
The development of CRISPR multiplex genome-editing (MGE) tools is rapidly transforming plant functional genomics and accelerating crop improvements. By simultaneously targeting two or more DNA loci, it allows scientists to precisely edit multiple genes at the single-nucleotide level, within the target genome. Simultaneous manipulation of multiple targets has revolutionized the functional elucidation studies, particularly the dissection of complex genetic pathways. Due to its superior precision and feasibility, CRISPR-MGE is widely accepted and has largely replaced alternative editing tools such as TALENs and ZFNs. Several CRISPR-MGE strategies, including the use of individual expression cassettes, tRNA-processing enzymes, Csy4 or ribozymes, have been successfully deployed in plants. Recent advancements, such as Cpf1, transgene-free methods, or ultra-multiplexing approaches, have further refined the technology into a powerful, efficient, and robust toolkit. MGE enables complex genome editing, including multiple-gene knockouts, base alterations, transcriptional regulation, metabolic engineering, or their combinations. Consequently, it is ideal for elucidating the function of transcription factors that are key molecular players in regulating diverse plant responses, especially in stress pathways. Several stress-responsive TFs have been functionally characterized via CRISPR-MGE, and more advanced tools are being employed. This review evaluates multiplexing tools, their diverse applications, and the current progress toward developing advanced MGE tools. Ultimately, we provide evidence to encourage the use of advanced MGE tools for functional characterization studies of stress-responsive TFs, thereby highlighting their potential to accelerate crop improvement.
