Temporal restriction of Cas9 expression improves CRISPR-mediated deletion efficacy and fidelity

Clinical application of CRISPR-Cas9 technology for large deletions of somatic mutations is inefficient, and methods to improve utility suffer from our inability to rapidly assess mono- vs.biallelic deletions.Here we establish a model system for investigating allelic heterogeneity at the single-cell level and identify indel scarring from non-simultaneous nuclease activity at gRNA cut sites as a major barrier to CRISPR-del efficacy both in vitro and in Bone Broth Protein vivo.We show that non-simultaneous nuclease activity is partially prevented via restriction of CRISPR-Cas9 expression via inducible adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) or lipid nanoparticles (LNPs).

Inducible AAV-based expression of CRISPR-del machinery significantly improved mono- and biallelic deletion frequency in vivo, supporting the use of the Xon cassette over traditional constitutively expressing AAV approaches.These Ski de fond - Homme - Sous-Vetements data depicting improvements to deletions and insight into allelic heterogeneity after CRISPR-del will inform therapeutic approaches for phenotypes that require either large mono- or biallelic deletions, such as autosomal recessive diseases or where mutant allele-specific gRNAs are not readily available, or in situations where the targeted sequence for excision is located multiple times in a genome.
