Bio Crispr Screens Prime Editing Screens

biotender-max/bio-crispr-screens-prime-editing-screens

Designs and analyzes pooled prime-editor (PE) screens for installing precise genetic variants without bystander confounding. Covers pegRNA design with PRIDICT and PRIDICT2 (Mathis 2023/2024) for predicting per-pegRNA editing efficiency, pegRNA architecture (spacer + scaffold + PBS + RTT), PE2 / PE3 / PE3b / PEmax / PEAR variants, MOSAIC in situ saturation mutagenesis (Hsu JY et al 2024 bioRxiv), the PRIME pooled-screen methodology (Erwood/Doman 2023 Nat Biotechnol 41:885; ~3,699 ClinVar variant screens), chromatin context as a primary determinant of PE efficiency, scaffold-incorporation and indel byproduct quantification with CRISPResso2, and the cross-modal validation strategy of PE + base-editor screens for variant function. Use when designing a pegRNA library for variant installation, choosing between BE and PE for a specific edit, predicting pegRNA efficiency before library synthesis, analyzing PE screen output, distinguishing intended-edit from scaffold-incorporation, or scaling PE screens to thousands of variants.
