Prediction of prime editing insertion efficiencies using sequence features and DNA repair determinants

Jonas Koeppel et al.

Summary: Prime editing efficiency is influenced by insertion sequence features, secondary structure, and DNA repair context. A library of 3,604 sequences of various lengths is designed to measure the insertion frequency into four genomic sites in human cell lines, revealing that length, nucleotide composition, and secondary structure affect insertion rates. Additionally, the 3' flap nucleases TREX1 and TREX2 suppress the insertion of longer sequences. By combining sequence and repair features, a machine learning model can predict the relative frequency of insertions into a site with an R value of 0.70. User-friendly software based on accurate predictions is demonstrated to aid in choosing high-efficiency codon variants for common fusion tags, along with an empirical catalog of insertion rates for many useful sequences.

Programmable deletion, replacement, integration and inversion of large DNA sequences with twin prime editing

Andrew Anzalone et al.

Summary: The twin prime editing (twinPE) method described in this study allows for programmable replacement or excision of DNA sequences at endogenous human genomic sites without the need for double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs). When combined with a site-specific serine recombinase, twinPE enables targeted integration of gene-sized DNA plasmids (>5,000 bp) and targeted sequence inversions of 40 kb in human cells. TwinPE expands the capabilities of precision gene editing and may synergize with other tools for the correction or complementation of large or complex human pathogenic alleles.

Designing and executing prime editing experiments in mammalian cells

Jordan L. Doman et al.

Summary: Prime editing (PE) is a precise gene editing technology that enables programmable installation of substitutions, insertions, and deletions in cells and animals without requiring double-strand DNA breaks. PE is less dependent on cellular replication and endogenous DNA repair and can minimize undesired outcomes. Advances such as engineered pegRNAs and enhanced PE systems have further improved its efficiency and capabilities. Compared to other procedures for editing human cells, PE offers greater precision, versatility, and can be completed within a relatively short time frame.

Cryo-EM structures of Escherichia coli Ec86 retron complexes reveal architecture and defence mechanism

Yanjing Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the structure and function of Retron Ec86 and provides insights into retron-based genome editing systems. The researchers used cryo-electron microscopy to determine the structures of Ec86 and its effector-bound complex. They found that Ec86 reverse transcriptase has a characteristic right-hand-like fold and produces msDNA, which wraps around the surface of the reverse transcriptase. The Ec86 effector directly binds reverse transcriptase and msDNA. These findings provide a structural basis for optimizing retron-based genome editing systems.
