Gene Synthesis> | The primers used for cloning are listed in Table S2. To test Cas9 variants, BCA and FCA were codon-optimized for cereal plants and synthesized commercially by GeneScript and were cloned into the PCE(cm24Cre) plasmid (Data S1). | Get A Quote |
Genome editing technologies face challenges in achieving precise, large-scale DNA manipulations in higher organisms, including inefficiency, limited editing scales and types, and the retention of undesired sequences such as recombination sites ("scars"). Here, we present programmable chromosome engineering (PCE) and RePCE, two programmable chromosome editing systems enabling scarless kilobase-to-megabase DNA manipulations in plants and human cells. Through high-throughput engineering, we obtained Lox sites with a 10-fold reduced reversibility and applied an AI-assisted recombinase engineering method (AiCErec) to generate Cre variants with 3.5 times the recombination efficiency of the wild type.
