Improving the sensitivity of in vivo CRISPR off-target detection with DISCOVER-Seq+
- BiologybioRxiv
- 2022
It is demonstrated that inhibition of DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) accumulates repair protein MRE11 at CRISPR-targeted sites, enabling high-sensitivity mapping of off-target sites to positions of MRE 11 binding using chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq).
Ultra-deep sequencing validates safety of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing in human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells
- BiologyNature communications
- 2022
A clinical next generation sequencing workflow is employed to achieve high sequencing depth and detect ultra-low frequency variants across exons of genes associated with cancer, all exons, and genome wide and demonstrates that clinically relevant delivery of high-fidelity Cas9 to primary HSPCs and ex vivo culture up to 10 days does not introduce or enrich for tumorigenic variants.
Fluorescent in vivo editing reporter (FIVER): A novel multispectral reporter of in vivo genome editing
- BiologybioRxiv
- 2020
FIVER will broadly help expedite the development of therapeutic genome surgery for many genetic disorders and show the potential of FIVER for high-throughput unbiased screens, from small molecule modulators of genome editing outcomes in primary cells through to genome-wide in vivo CRISPR cancer screens.
Ultra-deep sequencing reveals no evidence of oncogenic mutations or enrichment by ex vivo CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing in human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells
- Biology

Findings indicate that clinically relevant delivery of high-fidelity Cas9 to primary HSPCs and ex vivo culture up to 10 days does not introduce or enrich for tumorigenic variants and that even a single SNP outside the seed region of the gRNA protospacer is sufficient to eliminate Cas9 off-target activity with this method of delivery.
